This was one of the first pictures I took with my K10d. It's (ever so slightly) out of focus but I kind of like it.

So does anyone else have a favorite bad photograph?

I've taken so many bad photographs it's hard to come up with a favorite Will see if I can find one.

I have no idea where it is, but I once had a roll of film jam in my 35mm compact. The camera thought it was winding on, but the film wasn't moving so I ended up with a multiple exposure as the last frame.

That frame ended up as a wierd ghostly image of my cat partially superimposed on a number of other images.

It was quite spooky, particularly as the cat had died while the film was at the printers.
you don't have to be mad to post here



but it does help

My favourite "bad photo" was shot on a Kodak 620 Junior Box camera, so it's not for this site.

It is on my website and on EPZ though as it's the only existing photo of my Grandparents towards the end of their lives, so in that context the technical deficiencies become unimportant.
Best regards, John

I've got one and when I can get the damned thing to transfer from Photbucket to this Forum I'll share it with you.

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

And I thought it was something you'd captured at the Goth Festival

I'm so unsure about technology that I can never explain what's wrong when things don't work. But thanks to my neighbour and fellow member of Durham PS and PU, John Attle, (He's DOIK on here) I got up and running today.

I wouldn't say that, some of the grass is purrfectly in focus.

Well somebody had to say it . . .

OM10 - Bad camera shake and aperture too wide, but the snow gives it a different kind of look hence not binning it!

Hey, is that a kingfisher in the pic above, exiting stage right? I thought I saw a blue wing in the corner there.
