My Favorite Mistake/ The Story Behind the Pic

Posted by Ed on

Back in June of 2007 when I was just starting photography and driving in Northern California down a quiet highway I spotted a herd of deer by the road and as I approached them they took off and I just grabbed the camera and got off a few pics as they ran alongside the road. Only later did I realize that the pics were a bit blurry and a tad out of focus. I almost deleted the batch but decided to keep a couple as a learning tool. As I matured in my photography I learned that some pics just look more interesting a bit out of focus. Thanks for the comments on Sunday and as a thank you id anyone wants a full file size copy of the pic for personal use, either as a screen saver or to print (I think you can print it up to a 18×24 and not loose resoloution) just drop me a comment and I’ll return the comment with a copy of the file…

I can’t remember the camera settings, its been awhile but I got the pic with a Nikon D50 and a Nikon 18-200mm lens in Aperature mode.
