Beautiful Disaster
« on: October 10, 2010, 12:00:53 AM »
I know Photographer's Gallery did once online but I don't know if it's been done here before, if it has please forgive me.  I thought it would be nice to put together pictures that somehow went wrong and yet mean something to you.

I have two. The colour one was taken with a Kodak Brownie Box and have no idea what happened, the B&W I set counter frame in my Holga... well, wrong !

Wish I could make mistakes like that

Same here, those mistakes are great...
There's more to this photography thing than meets the eye.

Some great disasters in here... my favourite is the B&W shot and the green "monster" coming out of the girl !

This black and white negative was scanned using my normal technique of scanning in colour with the white & black points adjusted to achieve maximum information.

When I adjusted the levels in Gimp this happened.
