Should I post content showing my missed or failed shots along with the reasons they didn't work?

Yes, but frame it with a purpose and include a comparison. Show the missed shot alongside a successful one, or add a voiceover explaining what you learned. The key is to turn the vulnerable moment into a teaching or motivational moment—emphasize that failures lead to success, that even with perfect light you can have off days, and that’s okay. Always wrap up on a positive note, as social media should be an uplifting space. In your caption, tell the full story and close with the silver lining or lesson learned.
