Your Bad Shots

I think the earth moved...but I could be wrong.

ILCE-7M3    ----    0mm    f/1.0    4s    ISO 500

I really like that recovered underexposed shot. Great light!

I very much agree. I wonder if you could could get the same thing again if you wanted to, or if this was a camera one-off?

As the reddish backlight is from the gelled flash in the fireplace, it technically might be reproducible. But if I don't use the main flash, I'd have to increase the ambient without having to push the exposure so much afterwards. Would that change the balance of the light from the gelled flash? I don't know. I may have to try... If the cat will pose again

I might be able to increase the power of the gelled flash, or take it out of the fireplace and use it directly as a backlight.

I was trying to focus on the falling snow, forgot there was a backround.

It was supposed to be an attempt at a different angle. It was also supposed to be in focus...

ILCE-6500    E 70-180mm F2.8 A056    135mm    f/2.8    1/160s    ISO 1600

I did take one like this in focus, and that succeeded... in making me feel seasick.

Oldie but goodie that I remembered today. I was taking a pano when a pickup truck drove through the scene and got shortened.

ILCE-7M2    70-210mm F4    75mm    f/4.5    1/100s    ISO 100

 

[Thad E Ginathom]

I like that shortened truck!

Shutter speed was good for the crocus - not so much for the bee!

ILCE-7RM4    FE 70-300mm F4.5-5.6 G OSS    300mm    f/5.6    1/80s    ISO 200

Frankly, it is still an extremely beautiful photograph.

c/y Zeiss 85/2.8 is a very nice lens, but even with a hood sunlight can make it go a bit bonkers

ILCE-7M2    ----       f/1.0    1/60s    ISO 250

Even with a bad flare, I can still tell the color is nicely rendered and very sharp.

Forgot to turn off image stabilization when shooting the lunar eclipse

   Sony E 70-350mm F4.5-6.3 G OSS    350mm    f/9.0    1/6s    ISO 640

   Sony E 70-350mm F4.5-6.3 G OSS    350mm    f/9.0    2.5s    ISO 640

I could post a black rectangle, and say, portrait of a huge bat. I don't know what I was thinking (well, I wasn't): no the flash won't reach that far! I'd never tried such a shot before, or my settings were way wrong. I hoped, but was not rewarded with a picture.

Y'all can imagine the black rectangle: Here it is pushed over 4 stops. I got the bat's eyes! Sort of...

ILCE-6500    E 17-70mm F2.8 B070    70mm    f/2.8    1/60s    ISO 100

lol. ISO100 says it all. Not the setting to use in the dark!

A photo just to press the shutter !

You take showers in your garden?

Lovely lemons!

Thad, this is my neighbours garden/vegetable garden.
It is all a big mess compared to mine which is more modest in area and vegetables.
He always has many lemons among many other vegetables.
I will post a shot on the Zeiss Batis 18mm thread later today. Now the light is too harsh.
Cheers !
