By accident I had the camera in manual, so the flash fired, but the
shutter stayed open. So I moved it, figuring it was lost anyway. But at
home I found it rather nice. Like at captured the "soul" of music:

Anybody else have such "miss fires"?
Could be fun!


Nice photo. I have taken photos with this type of result, but generally on
purpose. In fact I took a good one taking this to the extreme just a few
weeks ago. I was taking a photo of a building with loads of people walking
in and out and back and forth between me and the building. Stopping the
people was impossible. So I used a tripod, 13 stop ND filter and a 30
second exposure. Everything that was moving (the people) blurred into
invisibility. There is some fuzzy masses in the doors where the people
going in and out were nearly constant for the entire 30 sec.



Great! Show us some pictures!
I plan to do more with this too. Any more tips are welcome.
Sometimes we get so lost in the "quality", noise and other technical bla
bla, that we forget to have fun!
I too "worry" sometimes about the quality of my pictures, when I got a wake
up call from my 14 year old son ( he lives in Holland and I in Portugal). He
said, after looking at a quick album online, that they all looked like they
came from a postcard. That made my day ;-))
