Images of mistakes - good or bad..

[jp]

I did my first shots with the Schneider 75/8 I recently acquired. Being a big n00b, I completely failed to appreciate the small coverage of this lens. I was warned, absolutely, and I had looked up the coverage data and whatnot. But still, I just went ahead into the learning experience and I guess I learned a lesson alright. In this shot, it could probably be explained as a moderately benevolent characteristic of the image. Obviously, it's just a huge failure going on behind the camera

Crop it square and you'll almost be good, My holga intermittently does this.
Where is this? Looks like the same scenery as a flickr user I follow: https://www.flickr.com/photos/wjosna

Yeah, I'm considering that. Although I'd lose the sun from the frame and I really wanted to include it. Ah well, we all learn.

Looking at that flickr page, it certainly seems it's not too far away! This was taken on the beach at Katwijk, which is at the Dutch coast. The flickr guy is definitely in The Netherlands as well, so it can't be much further than 80 miles from where this shot was taken. Edit: whoops, apparently she's a 'she', my bad. And her location says Amsterdam, so yeah, pretty close. I don't live on the coast myself, btw.

You are in best company. Look at the photographs of Jean Eugène Auguste Atget.

Messed up the movements on this one pretty bad, but I like the composition and the moving cars.
FP4+ in DD-X, I think it was about a 1 minute exposure.

I went out this morning, missed the fog in the background by 10 minutes, and accidently had a full swing on the lens. Needless to say, the swing did soften some of the shadows. I think I'm going to go out again and try tomorrow but get there earlier.
