The lady does not hide her anger for having been kept waiting. My guess is that someone must have paid dearly for that mistake.

Not sure what happened here. I was shooting for my Primordial Soup (because it sounds much better than pond scum) collection and ended up with this. But it worked. Converting to B&W helped.
Alviso, California.
The seaweed is always greener
In somebody else's lake
You dream about going up there
But that is a big mistake
Just look at the world around you
Right here on the ocean floor
Such wonderful things surround you
What more is you lookin' for?
Lake Matheson, New Zealand & New York, 1987.
Artfully Done? Hell, no! I was simply too stupid too keep used rolls of film carefully separated from fresh ones. As I had to get up before sunrise, hiked for hours around Lake Matheson to get this shot although I hate hiking, boy was I upset when this roll was develloped.
Tonal contrast and a bit of drama was added by means of Snapseed, overlay of frames on slide film accomplished by stupidity / double exposure.
Took me decades to start liking the result :-)
When I'm riding down the road with Anita, I still keep clicking away and this photo would normally have gone in the delete bin but there was something about it that I liked still. It was completely blown out and really just a pale shadow. But I decided to play with it and wasted a couple of hours doing so, but in the end... it was all fun! LOL Anita has the day off today so because we missed going out on Sunday we are heading out early this morning for a fun day! Who knows what sort of mischief we will find out there! ;)
Here lies George Johnson, hanged by Mistake, 1882, He was Right, We was Wrong, but we strung him up and now he's gone.
From the Boothill Cemetery in Tombstone, Arizona. The cemetery was in active use from 1878-1884. It has been restored as a tourist attraction.
Cove nestled in on the south side of Sumner Head, south-east of Christchurch city.NZ.The bay is a seaside and picnic resort.
How did Taylors Mistake get its name?
An interesting piece of history and a remarkable set of coincidences I thought I would share with you. Not only one but THREE Captain Taylors are thought to have mistaken this beach for the Lyttelton Harbour entrance and ran aground here, all within the short space of 9 years.
1. In 1853 Captain Davidson on a barge named the Gwalior was sailing to Lyttelton, however suffering from Delirium Tremens (due to sudden alcohol withdrawal) he threw him self overboard, and control was passed to Chief Officer Taylor who is thought to have ran aground on the beach.
2. In 1858, Captain Taylor, no relation to the mate on the Gwalior, made the exact same mistake and wrecked his
vessel the Volga.
3. Even more astonishing, yet another Captain Taylor on 1864 repeated the same mistake in the American
schooner Catherine.
Perhaps anyone with the name Taylor should avoid the area...!

After spending an hour in the cozy coffee shop, catching up with friends, you find yourself standing at a crosswalk as everyone leaves. The temperature has dropped significantly to 36°F since you left home and you realize that perhaps you should have dressed more warmly. Based on your body language and expression, you understand the mistake. #streetphotography

polaroid week starts tomorrow.
amazing how things come back to you.
I saw on local news channel that the United States Navy Pilots saw and recorded UFO'S while training here in the USA.
I remembered that I had left my camera outside one night by mistake. I went to get it the next morning and what did I see.
Something had taken a picture of plant UFO's. Sure enough something had been flying around my plants that night.
What are we going to do, plant pandemonium, hysteria, maybe plant suicides will break out. We have to keep this to ourselves.
We at Flickr understand but the sane people outside of this site may get carried away and report it. whatever you do just know that plant UFO's are nothing to be alarmed about!!!!!!!
The signs say" "Big Mistake, Many Make, Rely on Horn, Instead of Brake, Burma Shave". Seen in Hackberry, Arizona on Route 66.
Happy Fence Friday!
A 'happy mistake. My macro lens was having trouble focusing and one shot ended up with the little sugar dragées looking like this. I did a bit of PS work overlaying with a focused shot and doing some masking / erasing over the spoon to make it sharper.
Looking Close... on Friday! multicoloured theme

Some time when the river is ice ask me
mistakes I have made. Ask me whether
what I have done is my life. Others
have come in their slow way into
my thought, and some have tried to help
or to hurt: ask me what difference
their strongest love or hate has made.
I will listen to what you say.
You and I can turn and look
at the silent river and wait. We know
the current is there, hidden; and there
are comings and goings from miles away
that hold the stillness exactly before us.
What the river says, that is what I say.

Just because he's got frilly pants it doesn't make him cuddly.
This adult male is a top predator. Twice I watched him launch an attack from the Western Hemlock after locking those crazy wild eyes onto a target. Both times it was a near miss.
Now he has got a Blue Tit in the cross hairs and this time there was no mistake.
I took this one a few weeks back and as I've been pretty busy lately I haven't had time to go out with the camera so I went through some older stuff I had taken.
This is Craigavon Lakes very early in the morning and I love the colours and the serenity of it. I might try this shot again some early morning and try a long exposure, I would have done that morning but I had left my tripod at home, rookie mistake!
this is just an iPhone snap that turned out to be an interesting mistake. The ghosts look like they're levitating in the light trails. so, happy halloween everyone.
There's been an abundance of mushrooms around this year and I still keep spotting more. These are just outside my door and they seem to have popped up overnight. I know a lot of people who like to forrage for their mushrooms, but even if I thought I was a mushroom expert, I'd still have second thoughts on eating them. I think I've read too many horror stories about the gruesome effects the deadly ones have and it would put me off my fry up anyway. I'll stick to the co-op for now......other stores available.
One of my Simple Pleasures Happy mistakes.
And for the 52 in 2017 group. week#21 "SOOC"
Shot taken on May 23rd 2017.
I've just got two macro adapter rings for my Lensbaby Sweet 50, and I was trying them out. I use the Lensbaby in full Manual mode, and I had forgotten to change the White Balance for outdoor shots. It gave this shot of the apple blossom in the garden a slightly blue cast ... but I rather liked it. The Lensbaby is known for its 'sweet spot' of focus, and gentle blur all around - one of my favourite lens/optics.
SOOC I made no changes at all, only adding a signature.

I often took my camera to work, but sometimes I got lazy. It was a big mistake leaving it home on this trip on November 3rd 2022 because I had to settle for a cellphone picture of my M409-02 posed on the Powell's Creek trestle on a beautiful fall morning. I was sort-of able to redeem myself with a similar shot 2 years later when my southbound Auto Train went into emergency at this same location, but during the summer (and with a real camera)
Anyways, I broke out the trip notes for this one.
M409-02, on duty @ 0100 in Philly with conductor Tommy McFail. 5316 + 388 & 538 as our DPU on the rear of 68 cars (a baby 409 for sure).
We left RG tower in Philly at 0126 (whew!)
We stopped at;
Dump Rd (0357-0440)
Bayview (0456-0520)
Slater's Ln (0710--0715)
Franconia (0743-0810)
Powell's Creek (0846-0851)
Doswell (1026-1048)
Lakeside (1121-1122)
GN (1127-1133)
And we tied the train down at the south end of old two main at Acca yard at 1145. 11 hours to go 253 miles with no pick ups or set outs and a 60mph train. We made more stops than an Amtrak train.
Oh well. Take your camera to work.
My latest face. The previous one I just recently posted was a mistake, wasn't quite happy with it. Now I'm finally happy with this face in the photo above. :)
I make a lot of errors in trying to identify wildlife. When I was growing up on the farm the animals were like cars in the 1950s, I could tell you the make and model of each one. Then came the Asian entry into our markets and today I can’t tell one from another when they are whizzing by on the highway.
But the Minnesota zoo folks think I should easily be able to identify the snapping turtle. Here's what they say about this species of turtle:
"The common snapping turtle is Minnesota's largest species of turtle. It is easily distinguished from all other Minnesota turtles by its size, keeled upper shell (called a carapace), large head, and long, bumpy tail."
I am guessing this whopper must be a snapping turtle.

waiting for new developer and fixer.
these were 4x5 paper negatives taken ????
I used the wrong developer. sigh..
but they're fun to play with.
5 more after this.
of course, no comments needed.
some paper, dunno which.
see what you can see.
**wednesday I was playing with the LF camera and managed to screw up four more negatives. I'm glad it's photo paper and not 4x5 film.
this is how I learn, and in this case, relearn.
there are some mistake, which turns out to be better than intended. this is one of those. all i wanted to capture was the reflection of light on moving water in slow shutter.
just a jerk due to a sneeze (excuse me) turned out to be this :)
i waited a long time to publish this, then decided to go ahead.
i hope you sneezing part will not bother you, i guarantee that none of my sneezing is there in the picture, haha.
thank you for viewing it. i appreciate your kind words and thanks in advance.
