for everyone

This picture is my happy accident - caused by this one forgetting to switch on the flash. It is the shadows of the lights and the face that stands out. For me this picture sums up the dancing part of my brothers wedding!

I love these long exposure abstracty shots. Happy accident it may have been but now that you know how it's done, you can go for some deliberate ones.

It has an appealing surrealist feel. Great job with your "oops".

Very interesting! It is like some one manipulated it to have the face stand out. So how lucky you caught that! Nice!

Hey!!! I have one of those pictures too!!! I forgot it though and went with the sunset in my room... *chuckle*

Yes, it is a happy accident picture. I like the way the colors played a major role in the shadows of the lights and the face in your picture. What a happy moment and sure sounds like everybody had great fun!

Thanks for sharing this, Rachel!! Have a grand weekend up there! Stay warm and take care!

Isn't it funny how things that didn't turn out as planned can take on a look all their own? Great shot! It does emphasize the fun and faces of those partying at a wedding! Very nice!

Wonderfully abstract photo, Rachel. The images are almost ghostly in appearance... especially that white figure on the stage.

If you're not too busy... stop on by my entry (http://oarafn1.multiply.com/journal/item/25). Have a wonderful weekend

It looks so merry there. What a great happy incident there you have with your camera button. I had that several times when I took pictures of my baby. Felt sooo GREAT when I got the result. Really hope this little miracle could keep on happening to me from time to time.

Thx for stopping by at mine.
Sorry for the late visit. I've been so busy here. Got a lot to do.
Have a great week there (^_^)v
