Images of mistakes - good or bad..

[Emil Schildt]

Thanks. I wasn't all that fond of this shot; it seemed like an epic mistake, but tonight my wife and brother were telling me otherwise. I guess one person's mistake is another person's art. You just never know, I guess. I am liking it better the more I look at it, but what I see is not what the photo shows but I had HOPED it would look like when I clicked the shutter.

I love that image!

I love that image!

Oh, I listen to my wife, all right. Trust me!

Thanks for the compliment. I do like it much better now that I have looked at it for a while. Sometimes it's difficult to distance yourself from what you had envisioned as opposed to what is really there in the image.

Camera moved so it's a touch blurry, it's a shame too. This thing was a pretty awesome find, and I found it on one of the few days we had any clouds. I do have a few more negatives it to scan. Maybe I still have a good one?

Didn't drop the bed on the Speed Graphic with the 90mm, But cropped and converted to B&W it looks great:

This is one of a series of landscapes I shot last year on my 4x5 CG. I loaded up my Yankee tank, and dumped in the developer...I *thought* I had enough to fill the tank. I was wrong. "Oh well...too late to stop now!" I sloshed it around trying to cover all the top of the negs...it actually worked, but some of the sheets came out of their slots and stuck to each other creating some interesting effects like this. I know a lot of people hate Yankee tanks, but other than this I've been pretty happy with mine. I've also had most of the other mishaps like double exposure, but I don't have any of them scanned.

Double exposure total sum better than the parts. (none of it very good)

It took me a while to get my head around both exposures. It has a surrealist vibe to it.

And then, sometimes you just want to cut your balls off.



You have no idea how much I am hating this lens. Apart from the weird perspective, the cable release even shows in the picture!

One from me (involuntary double exposure)
