stop diving under the water.

When I was trying to photograph these mallards, all I wanted was for them to stop diving under the water.

There was a great lesson to be learned here, sometimes you just have to go with the flow. I have a hard time doing this in both life and photography, but it often ends up being more fun than what you had planned anyways.

If you're a photographer, you have probably gone through some similar emotions and frustrations with equipment and photo subjects.

Here's a couple photo related jokes to lighten things up:
