Default Epic Fail

I was trying to get a drop of water. This was my last chance. The husband was screaming for his dinner. So, I had this bright idea. I'll do a shot sequence. I've never used that option on my camera before. *sighs* Guess I should have read the manual first.

It is an epic fail, BUT I kinda like it anyway

From monkeys and H2O


I'm learning to like the fails more than the successes. I learn more from them and there are more of them to choose from

Thomas Edison tried 1000 times to create the first light bulb. When asked how he felt about all those failures, he reportedly said: "I didn't fail, I discovered 999 ways not to make a light bulb."

Expect and welcome failure in the pursuit of success. Failure and success are sisters and the daughters of learning.

Your husband screams for his dinner? Two-year-olds can be trained out of doing that! Capturing just the right water drop shot is important, let him learn to cook... or forage... or starve.

Nice Warhol-esque image you ended up with though. TFS.

Nice sequence!

But I, being my wife's husband, cook everyday for her and find little slots of time for photo too.
If she'd scream for dinner she would eat tuna and bread, nothing more!

Your image makes some nice patterns! I can see it for a piece of abstract art.

Nice to know Mr. Edison and I agree. Thanks for the quote and the welcome

Well, I exaggerate slightly. Whine is more appropriate really but it's my own fault. 23 years of marriage and I've never trained him otherwise. I like him needing me. He is the only one who comes before my camera. Well, perhaps a Pixie and a hamster too, but that's it.

Warhol-esque eh? Wow, that's gonna fuel my attempted failure for a long time. Thanks

Thanks! Now that you metion it, perhaps a thick steel frame w/ no mat? Yes, I think that would be very nice. My failure is growing on me
