I Meant To Do That

This morning I went out to shoot some brackets, and only lasted 30-45 minutes because it was so cold, about 17°F, plus wind chill about another 10° lower. Despite the cold, I remembered to check my ISO, exposure bias, bracket settings, and aperture. I forgot to focus, which I only realized when I got home. Luckily, I was shooting mostly at a distance and by chance most of the shots ended up with the focus set at infinity.

But not here. If you look closely, you might be able to tell that the pavement here on East Third Street a few feet away from the near curb is tack sharp, but the rest of the image is somewhat blurred.  I decided it was salvageable, if only barely.

  1. I actually like the soft focus feel to this one…happy accidents are the best 🙂

  2. Another example of serendipity. Sometimes we seem to be saved by our own mistakes. Mistake, or not, this is a fantastic image!
