Default I am so proud of my shot =)

I am so proud of this particular swan photo I took this weekend... I totally messed up and had the wrong W/B setting on but the effect was stunning for this newbie LOL
So its my accidental masterpiece (err at least up until this point in my photographic journey)

I had it on the tungsten setting LOL
I forgot to change the W/B setting and I have been practicing on NOT using AUTO anything (ok well auto focus still as the MF just takes forever but I am trying...) I cropped the shoreline and sharpened it and it came out great. Its funny as when I took the photo I ALMOST deleted it there on the spot as I messed it up ~ but decided to wait until I got home to delete it ~ I opened up my program and was like "WOW, I did that?!?"

I thought maybe someone stole my camera when I wasn't looking and took it LOL

Some of the most wonderful things were discovered by accident and this is no exception.

wb is one of those things that I ALWAYS forget to set, so I have mine set on cloudy all the time.
Sometimes oops make for the some of the very best images. There are no accidents in life or in photography, its just a slight detour to great art
