Take Multiple Shots from Different Positions

I was doing my daily power walk. I pass this tree almost every day but somehow today I looked up and it looked beautiful. I turned on my phone and took a snap. I stopped for maybe 3-5 seconds! The photo was a bit dark because the Sun was in front.

 I walked past the tree and took another photo. I can not move the tree but I can definitely move so in such situations, without putting much thinking, I always take multiple photos.

If I had stopped and put some thought into my photo, I would have been able to take a better photo. However, I was on a power walk. I didn't have a real camera. All I had was a cell phone camera and 10 seconds! However Trial and Error Photography is to make your photos better- at little cost of equipment and time. By these photos, I wanted to highlight that when you can not move the subject or change the light- change yourself, change your position/angles, and take few photos. Then pick the best! We are not a professional photographer who wants to get paid for his photos, or an amateur who wants to win awards! All we want is some better photos for our pleasure, or to share with friends to get some Likes ;)
Have a great 2017!
