Images of mistakes - good or bad..

Mistake... I loaded some film backs using film change bag in the heat of Japan's mid summer. My hands sweat a really much.

The result... There was fingerprints all over the negatives.....

Another embrassing mistake... I took a photograph of small waterfall and expected a lot of it... But as I haven't time to develop sheet immediately, I somehow managed to expose same sheet almost a month after... with a picture of rapids..

Another image from about 15 years back, this is just a scan of a printing info sheet I make for all my negs so the quality is not great.
I spent 3 days in this area and the view from this vantage point was breathtaking. I set my camera up here 5 or 6 times but the light, wind, etc just wouldn't cooperate, finaly on the morning of the third day it was perfect, no breeze, light fog over the water and a few foggy patches in the mountains. Thought I had something pretty special until I went to print it and discovered that the image just didn't seem to portray what I recall seeing. I revisited the image on a few occasions and finally figured the problem out. Because the image is more about lines shapes and tones as it is about a mountain scene the composition is just plain wrong unless you view the image upside down.
