 Motion blur.  I mean when I take a really nicely framed shot (at an event), the person is smiling and when I look closely... motion freakin' blur from my hands... gosh darn it.

No problem with folks walking into my shot; I just stop and out-wait them.  More time for me to look around for other angles and perspectives.  What frustrates me is people with smart phones getting in the way--knowing that their photos will look like c******.

Discovering the limitations of my new Nikon 70 - 300mm (consumer quality) lens, especially at 300mm.  I need to get a lot closer than I often can.
