And a dirty little secret that I am willing to share: I too end up with a 
lot of images that are affected by camera or subject movement, or the 
subject is not in the right position. That is normal when you are 
photographing street life rather than rock and ferns. But you don't have to 
show the duds to the public :-)

Cheers,
Nathan
