Hi everyone,

Here's fun little game, post any of your shots that have failed miserably with!

One rule: it must be accidental
Let's see how many you have

I'll start, this was taken out the window of a moving car: Perfect, isn't it? Try re-crating that one

Thanks for playing

Default Look out for that bus!

Okay, I'm game.
It was a really bright day and I was using my point and shoot so it was kind of hard to see the LCD. Just as I snapped this picture a bus turned the corner. I didn't see it until I downloaded the shot.

Maybe not quite a laughable failure but certainly funny to see my wife telling me off for taking so long taking photographs.

Ok, here's a laughable failure of mine. I took this out of a car window, while the car was driving down the highway very fast. That explains the blur of the trees...

Trees- edited

Took this one yesterday (16 July) I was trying to get the horse in focus with the background motion blurred, but I forgot to check the exposure meter! Oops!

Just stepped out of the dark working room...
Me: OMG the clouds are gorgeous!
Runs to room to get camera.
Me: Hey you! Get over here and let me take some pictures!
Him: Okay (smiles)
Me: Stop smiling!
Him: Okay (frowns)
click click click
Me: Now do this... do that.... no no no! Yay, I got good shots!

The product of over excitement and lack of knowledge plus rudeness:
