Clearly some of the improvement is hard work, lots of practice, loads of unsharp pictures, many "One more time please!" ... But sometimes you just get very unlucky. For example I spent hours raking my brain why my Sigma lens wasn't turning out sharp pictures. Seb unlocked the secret: it's plain sh*y equipment, which is not worth what the manufacturer promised and asked money for.
Sometimes I got lucky - and the next post above will tell you why. But for now, enjoy this year's pics in a slideshow:
