Happy Accident... by marlboromaam

Happy Accident...

I was up and out before the crack again the other morning, trying some moon shots. No luck! Forgot to change some settings and was going for some more fog shots... DUH! I didn't think my little Kodak would do this! LOL! I know it's not such a great composition, but I wasn't even trying for light streaks when a car flew through my shot!
lol! the streaks are incredible! even the buds on the tree add so much to the picture!
March 20th, 2012  
Gorgeous Spring colors, Maggie! Love the composition too and the buds. The light streaks are frosting on the cake girl! :)
March 20th, 2012  
Very pretty springy shot! I love happy accidents! Great shot!
March 20th, 2012  
What a beautiful photo, Maggie. Love the streaks that you captured. Fav
March 20th, 2012  
Fab shot, love the POV. Cool photo bomb lol. I love happy accidents. :o)
March 20th, 2012  
Little morning treat for you
March 20th, 2012  
Beautiful shot
March 20th, 2012  
Just an added bonus to a beautiful shot, nice work
March 20th, 2012  
Hehe! That's a great accident. Love the composition of the photo.
March 20th, 2012  
that's called a panning no ?
You've been lucky, Ive tried to do that and I failed ... ;)
March 20th, 2012  
WOW! Really cool shot! I looked first that there is train.
March 20th, 2012  
that's a great surprise element!
March 20th, 2012  
cool! I love when stuff like that happens! But this is where you're supposed to say, "uh, yeah - that's exactly what I was trying to do!"
March 20th, 2012  
@seangelap Thank you, Sarah! Appreciate your kind and sweet comments and visit!

@karenann LOL! I thought it would be a mess! A little frosting on this bad shot couldn't hurt! Thank you for your kind comments and the visit, Karen! Always appreciated!

@soozieqt You are such a kind soul, Susan! Thank you for the sweet comments! Always appreciated!

@darsphotos Darlene, you are too sweet! Thank you for the fav, the kind comments and the visit! Always appreciated! Hugs!

@lizzy_lu123 You're right, Lisa! It was a bomb! Thank you for your kind comments and the visit! Always happy to see you here!

@sleepdozer57 A treat, indeed! Thank you very much, Peter!

@kerristephens Aww! Thank you, Kerri! Always happy to see your comments!

@wenbow Thank you very much, Wendy! Appreciate your lovely comments and the visit!

@emmac I've had two happy photo accidents now, Emma. They're very nice! Thank you for your sweet comments and the visit! Always appreciated!

@cocobella No, not panning when I shot this. Just a real slow shutter speed with my camera still on the tripod so my background and foreground are in focus and whatever moves will be a blur. Panning is when the background is blurred and your subject is in focus and you move the camera to follow your subject. Make sense? If not, I'll try to do better.

@lianasaarepera LOL! No train just a car zooming by. Thank you, Liana! Always appreciate your comments and visit!

@rach57 LOL! I thought it would be a mess, Rachel! Thank you for your comment and visit!

@msk1p2 LOL! I may have to try it on purpose the next time, Sandra! Appreciate your comments and visit! Thank you!
March 21st, 2012  
@marlboromaam yes I got it !
Thanks for taking time to explain ;)
So what I've tried is called "panning", what you've done is called an "accident", hahaha, the result is at the opposite, but it is still great ! :)
March 21st, 2012  
Your yard is so pretty! Great streaks and really like the little buds on your tree! btw--thought of you when I posted my shot today. I jokingly told you the other day that the only thing i can grow is sticks, and today I posted a pic that looks like I'm actually trying to grow a stick! :) lol
March 21st, 2012  
Awesome! Great catch!
March 21st, 2012  
Vee
Very cool shot! There's such a contrast between the natural and non-natural....looks like a high speed train through a forest!
March 21st, 2012  
Wonderful streaks and color of the outdoors :)
March 21st, 2012  
accidental shots are the most captivating
March 21st, 2012  
turned out pretty cool...( I thought of some funny stuff to say about your story line, but there maybe kids watching...lol)
March 21st, 2012  
Very cool! This is a lovely shot with the blooming tree.
March 21st, 2012  
Amazing shot!!!!
March 21st, 2012  
Wow! How cool is that. Happy accident.
March 21st, 2012  
Very cool accident! Love it.
March 21st, 2012  
Very pretty missy... is that your driveway.. surrounded by all them thar pretties>?????? I am soooo green!!!! Awesome shot!
March 21st, 2012  
That's really neat! The streak is a great special effect. My son thought it was "super cool!" The trees are just lovely!
March 21st, 2012  
wow what a cool accident shot..your front yard is looking pretty too...your hard yard work is paying off!
March 21st, 2012  
@cocobella LOL! What I did by accident is called "motion blur" which is different from panning as you know. =)

@tryeveryday It was a beautiful shot, too, Michelle! Very elegant! LOL! I did think you were trying to root something but, I didn't say so. You're only seeing a small portion of the yard along the drive. A part I've worked on. Still not halfway done with the front and backyards and haven't even started with the old wood pile. It's so hot and humid. But, I'll get there! Thank you for your lovely comments and the visit! Always appreciated very much!

March 21st, 2012

March 21st, 2012  
Love the story -- so how it goes with 365 right? And the speed streaks - that car must have been booking! :-)
March 21st, 2012  
I really do like this one. Love the action car blur - really makes this a cool shot!

there's so much to like in your shot. blossoms on tree, light trails, rays of violet light. well done.
March 21st, 2012  
Ooh cool! Great light trails! But I'm attracted to the flowers too, they look pretty on the long branches. Makes me wish we had spring here! 8)
March 21st, 2012  
I like the composition of this shot with the two large tree trunks off centre. Great shot!
March 21st, 2012  
Very cool light strike with spring blossom. Your yard looks beautiful
March 21st, 2012  
Nice catch with the blossoms and light trails!

Super cool shot! It's great how some of the best photos are 'accidents'. Life would be dull without these moments. Love the light and colours.
March 21st, 2012  
Beautiful capture and those carlight streaks complete the beauty of the surroundings.
March 21st, 2012  
Neat shot and lighting. The call blur gives the shot a surreal edge. Very nice.
March 21st, 2012  
Pam
WOW! Very cool shot!! I love the light trails and the blooming tree. Great capture!!
March 21st, 2012  
Nothing like having a streaker go through your photo. It will always add interest. :) !!! Well timed. Well captured.
March 21st, 2012  
Wow!! Love the morning light and the blooming tree!! The cool light trails are a bonus!
