Just Blew My First Paid Shoot

So I just totally blew my first paid shoot and feel a bit depressed.​Long story short I had the wrong aperture value for the majority of the shots I took, which left me with hair and facial features out of focus. I couldn't tell while I was shooting because the in camera previews looked ok on the small LCD screen and I was dumb enough not to zoom in and check the details. Was shooting on a new camera with a new lens--that didnt help. But clearly I was out of my depth, haven't focused enough on shooting fundamentals as opposed to post-processing, and made a ton of amateurish mistakes. I thought I was ready but definitely wasn't. Client is understandably upset.​Screwing up when you're just shooting for your own port is one thing, but it's another level of hurt when you mess up for someone else.​Anyone else have similar stories of messing up on the job? It would help to know I'm not alone. via /r/photography https://ift.tt/2Hieusw
