Photographing wildlife isn't one of my strong points. My girlfriend suggests I publish a collection of animal behinds...

Anyway, I thought this one might make the serious birdie snappers here smile! Enjoy. No C&C needed, but feel free to take the michael.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Don't worry Kris, I'm sure we've all taken images like that at some time. I know I have, I'm just not brave enough to show them to the world.

Lets have a "Your worst photo thread".

I have taken many many bad pictures but consider this as one of my best worst shots.

Lightning storm .. I look at this whenever I need a laugh.

Nice Bokeh in that one Kris.
I would clone that ugly blue blob out, on the far right.
