I need some chuckles and this community does not disappoint.
So we all take a LOT of photos. Mostly, the photos are of organisms. Yet sometimes, things go awry and we don’t find out till we get back to the equivalent of basecamp and review. Maybe we filmed something in slow-mo, or we sneezed at the last minute or accidentally activated selfie mode. These are the outtakes.
Show us your outtakes, the mishaps that happened while trying to get your shot. This one is of me trying to photograph aquatic macroinvertebrates. I did not realize I had activated selfie mode. I title it “Bug’s Eye View”
This one could be titled “Self portrait as a shadow” while trying to photograph something. Whatever it was, it got away. Or maybe it was really winning at camouflage…
Very avant garde. If you could alter it to make it look like it was painted and put it on canvas, I bet it would sell for big money. Entitled: Man’s Descent Into Greenery.
