"You can't screw a bull with a 3/4" ratchet." That's what my grandfather used to say. I have no idea what it means, but you did about the best you could given circumstances. We've all been there, I'm sure-just don't let it get to you. Sometimes life hands you a terrible background for a shot you HAVE to take.
Still makes me feel like a crappy non progressional photographer, haha.

It's not your fault, brohemian rhapsody. Don't take it personally. I know, people can say that until we're blue in the face and it doesn't do anything. Go grab your Big Stopper and make something incredible. You'll feel better in no time. When I feel like crap because of a terrible shoot, I grab my studio stuff and my stormtrooper or head out for Golden Hour.
