Default The accidental awesome shot

I was wandering around our new neighborhood trying to get a feel of the place. Bought my camera along with me and decided to take a few snapshots of anything of interest.

Now having taken photos of stuff outside on a sunny day (with a polarizing filter) i happened to come across a tunnel, and took the usual/boring/obligatory tunnel shot. I only had one chance to take it as people behind us wanted to get pass. Took the shot and this is what it turned out....



Yep an exclamation mark! This was due to my settings being for a bright outdoors and didn't have time to change it. Rather pleasantly surprised to say the least.

Does anyone else have something to share about their accidental awesome shot?

Ha! I've unfortunantely not had such luck yet. Just goes to show how it never really hurts to press the shutter button, even if by accident. C:

At first, I thought it was an old dirty wine glass.

You should print that on canvas and sell it as modern art!
