A happy accident

This is the moon. I accidentally left my camera on a long exposure setting and took a photo of the crescent moon without a tripod.
Apart from a crop and rotation this is SOOC

Oh so cool, Mon!! It looks like a bunch of flowers... you could always say you were "moonlight painting" lol.. it could also be mistaken for smoke. This is really cool and I agree with @terryvet92 ... you couldn't do it if you tried! Fav :) (ps.. that's 2 from me in a week!!)

[cheryl]

I thought about the moon tonight, but it was so bright.... love the way the lighting almost curls..

[Monika]

@cheribug It could be a bit bright but if you put the aperture right up (f22) and move up and down or side to side because the background is so dark it could work.dont be afraid to do big movements :

[Bankmann]

Wow! This very cool; what a great accident! ;-) Fav!
