It stinks when things don't come out right. For example, I took all these pictures of a conference today only to find out later that they were out of focus. I thought I was doing it right, but obviously it was all wrong. I hate it when that happens. But that's okay, it teaches me to check myself. This won't happen again for sure. Have you done things that you thought were okay, but they were not?

I thought the shutter speed was at 1.4 seconds. It was actually at 14 seconds. This is the result of me picking up the camera to see what was going on.
An almost note-perfect phishing website aiming to get people to hand over their Nationwide details. Only one thing....
This Swansea Heads (East Lake Macquarie, NSW) series are photographs taken on a Friday morning walk, 13th January, 2012. Walking and driving around the headland, on a beautiful summer day.
This is taken at Reids Mistake Head, looking down the secluded little beach there.
Swansea and surrounds, including the headland, Caves Beach and the greater region have to be the best kept secret... such unspoilt beauty and I hope it stays this way... for the most part they remain free from the clutches of greedy developers who only ruin the very essence of places like this.
I feel very fortunate to have experience living here for the past 6 or so years.
The reason they are linked to my stilelemente profile is because they will inevitably feed into my work at some stage in some way or another, but for now can just be enjoyed as images of the lake that captured my attention and inspired my creativity...
I had been photographing flowers in low light and had left my flash on when l stepped closer and this happened.
I tried out freelensing. This was a mistake that I liked. Tips from Luke Roberts via Annika Svenmarck
Haven't done something like that in a long time. No problem. This is why I always keep at least 10 of everything on hand...
A pre-1918 postcard which was posted to:
Mrs. F. Pilbeam,
Guldeford Lodge,
Rye
The message on the back of the card was as follows:
"Parties went off very well,
both at the front & back of
the house.
We didn't end up quite like
the postcard.
Hope you are well.
Love from us both,
Dot and Susanna".
A fantastic sunset we had on the day we got back from holidays. I consider this a bit of a 'mistake' because it came out a bit darker than I wanted it to be.

This is one of those times when I wasn't thinking, and I made a HUGE mistake. We went to my niece's home for dinner last night, and I wanted to get some family portraits. I wasn't thinking, and I didn't take my time. First, instead of shoot through umbrellas, I used silver reflectors. I was shooting into a small area, and I thought a more focused light would work better. I was wrong.
Secondly, I was using two YN560IIs, one camera left and one camera right. I didn't bother to double check the power levels, and one was 1/4 power and the other was 1/2 power, so the lighting is uneven.
Even when I did a couple of test shots, and saw how bad they were, I didn't realize what I was looking at, and just adjusted the lights to be pointing in a different way.
I fixed these as best I could in LR5.
The lesson from this is this. If you're going to do the job, do it right. Take the time before hand to think about what you're doing, and how it's going to effect the end result. Using the right tool for the job, or in this case, the right light modifier, is essential. If your test pictures don't come out right, take a minute or two to re-evaluate your setup, and see if what you're doing is the best you can do. Finally, check and double check everything. An extra ten minutes at the beginning can save you an hour or more of editing later on, or even a totally blown shoot.
