With digital I find myself frequently going for hopeless shots. Quite often the results are awful, as yesterday when I tried for a Speckled Wood butterfly. But sometimes they turn out, as today when I photographed a fly feeding on some goo, using a 1/10 second exposure despite its feeding tube constantly moving.
They say you learn from your mistakes, and hopeless shots are often a way to learn now methods. When they don't work, I think about what went wrong, and either change tack, or forget the idea.
