Fixed-Lens Photo Challenge #189 : Mistakes

Sometimes my best photos are not the photos I thought I was taking ...

Remember, if you post a photo, you may be the winner. Be prepared to host and judge a new challenge.

To submit, click the button labelled "POST TO THREAD" and put your photo title in the first line of the post, above your photo. Your camera brand and model must appear in the post. Include additional EXIF data, if you like.

Enter just one photo.

Post until Monday noon GMT, 13 June 2022.

Rules

Camera: Any fixed-lens camera, all brands and models. Cell phones are also included. No DSLRs!

Time: Any on-topic photo taken at any time is eligible except photos that have won other POTN competitions.

Size: Photo must be no less than 800 pixels and no more than 1600 pixels on the longest side, with no borders.

Postprocessing: Do whatever you like and the host will decide if it works.

Photo Display: Photos must appear in this thread to be eligible.

Commenting: Please title your photo. No commenting or descriptions on photos by anyone, including the photographer. Please don’t use the Like button until winners are announced. Once the winners are declared, photographers can add comments to their images and everyone is invited to discuss. The host and others may also post photos after the winners are announced.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Voting

Voting begins when the challenge closes, noon Monday, 13 June. Voting closes 24 hours later. Post your first, second, and third choices.

First-place votes will get 3 points; second place, 2 points; third place, 1 point. The host will tally the points and announce the result. You can vote even if you didn’t enter a photo.

Definitely a marketing mistake.

Seems like I made the biggest mistake!

Oh well, roll up and vote - every player wins a prize!

On the positive side, the maths will be easier :rolleyes:

The Winner :

RDWP ! with 13 votes

Runner up: TimPhoto with 12 votes
And also on the podium : JimASkew with 11 votes

( and also in the scoring : OhLook with 1 vote... shurely shome mishtake ? )

Sorry the topic didn't stir more interest - you are all either so good or delete those boobs so fast - the digitals age helps there. But I did enjoy those ones here - thanks for playing.

What's next , Rob ?

Congratulations, Rob! You posted a funny mistake, all right, but I thought Nic was asking for mistakes we made.

I didn't enter because I delete shots that went far wrong. The closest thing I have is this one, from 2014, of a scrub jay that got pretty tame and used to come for peanuts. My mistake here was just bad timing. The image is also too small for the challenge.

Nice shot!

I did almost make the mistake of buying some Lice of Canada for the kids! (Taken at Toronto Pearson airport a few years back - as usual, looking for something last minute to bring home.)

Thanks all, and congrats to Tim and Jim. And to Oh for her honourable mention.

Nic, I figured the number of entries this week simply reflects the fact that we so rarely make mistakes :-P

New challenge posted soon.
