Happy accidents


Recommended Posts

Yes, I'm always pleased with "happy accidents". To me, "happy accidents" occur in 2 different ways:

- Something suddenly and unpredictably changes in the "frame" which turns out to more interesting than I'd intended

- I forgot to adjust something in my camera/lens that I should have, but "by accident" the result still turned out to be interesting (perhaps moreso), though differently to what I'd intended.

 

These are both cases of 'serendipity' for which I'm always grateful. In the first case, whatever suddenly happens/changes in the frame is impossible to plan for or anticipate. In the second case, if the result looks OK with different settings than I'd intended, I try to think how I could include these 'alternative settings' in my intentional shots.

 

Good thread!
