Post your cockups here ...

I was trawling through my photos tonight and though that it might be fun to start a post thread of photo's that would be great if you hadn't cocked them up in some way.

Here's one of many of mine where for some reason I didn't think the camera and tripod would cast a shadow. <shakes head>

Heres an old one of mine 20 years or so


Wsadale B&amp;W old shot by alfred.branch, on Flickr

The biggest issue was the fact my colour slide film ran out and the only film I had left to shoot one the nicest colours I have seen at wasdale in B&W and the one shot I took on slide was over exposed little

I never delete any of my images (I've often achieved an OK resultant pic from what appears to initially be a rubbish shot!), so plenty of cockups from which to choose!

Here's an example - it was never going to work at 1/30sec! But my cat-like reflexes (not!) saved the day! Luckily for me she was oviposting so hung around for that crucial second

Not exactly a cockup but really bad timing .

If you can't tell , he is facing the camera but he started to shake his head right at the wrong time
