Assignment: "A Mistake" ?-July 15

[bertygirl]

*first time posting ever, hope I got this all right*

I took this the day I got my new lens. I'm a VERY beginner! I was getting frustrated trying to get a good shot of these flowers on a cactus, the sun was super bright and they were very over exposed. After almost giving up I decided to just try something extreme. I adjusted my shutter speed to 1/640 sec. And this is the result I got. I was actually pretty impressed.

I had just finished my photography course and decided to training while taking vacations at my city, Manaus.
I was adjusting the camera exposure and aperture, forgot to adjust the ISO. By the time I saw this picture at the LCD, I thought: "Oh no!".. But when I saw the image in my computer, I said: "OH MY GOD!"

Flight of the Pelican:

This photo was taken back in May (22nd) at a beautifully isolated beach called Seal Rocks, NSW. I absolutely love this photo because of the colours and the movement this image depicts. Its a mistake because of its blurred horizon. I was using the Tv setting on my Canon 400d, and yet I managed to get Mr Pelican with in some sort of focus. I haven't touched this up in any kind of software so its a very raw image. I can't remember what my settings were other than what I have already mentioned.

Enjoy!

It was a mistake, because was a point and shot photo,with the focus in the middle that's why the sky it's overexposed and the snow is underexposed. It's a mistake, which i'm proud of it !

I was at an aquarium, trying to get an entire view of this albino alligator. The waterline distorted his body and made it look deform, but it turned out interesting. This was straight out of the camera.

Here is the intended picture:

I'm still learning portrait photography, when I took this picture, I intended to take my cousin pic from lower angle, so I could capture his expression from other angle. But just at the time I press button, he looked down to camera. So here it is.

Camera: Canon Powershot G3
Exposure: 15 sec
Aperture: f/3
Focal Length: 28.8mm

It may not be immediately obvious but this was taken in the dark. This was my first attempt at a night shot back in 2003. I was pleasantly surprised to get this overexposed shot that turned the night sky blue. It's got chromatic aberrations and noise up the wazoo but it's still one of my favorite mistakes.

I meant to get a silhouette head-on, but he moved too quickly - exposing the sun and creating those sun spots on the photograph. I have ended up loving the spots becaues they are so unique and almost tie-dye and colorful... I know I couldn't have recreated this photo if I tried to.

This is a stunning concert photo! Truly, it is. Absolutely love it. I love when things focus on the wrong part doing gig shoots --- wind up with the most fascinating things.
