It Was an Accident

Rose of Sharon

While wandering around the backyard of my sisters I decided to take an image of this Rose of Sharon. After pressing the shutter buton I noticed a pause in the camera and a message in my EVF that said saving. This is not normal. So after some troubleshooting I discovered I’d somehow moved the drive dial to Adv1 setting. This had placed to camera into creating an image to duplicate a toy camera. I liked how they adjusted the image. So, by accident I found something I will use in some situations. This the untouched image it produced.

 

Retired. Having fun with photography. Journal daily. Meditate daily. Learning haiku/poetry. Have a love for fountain pens.

    Ah yes, the old toy camera setting. A good one for sure when used in the right situations. Like this one. A happy accident 😊

    An expensive toy, to be sure! 🙂 Have fun with it! On my E-M1, it’s very easy to accidentally change some settings. I’ve had a few frustrating times trying to figure out exactly what I did!

    I really like the effect of the shallow depth of field on this and how it isolates the flower from the background. The challenge will be to figure out how to repeat “on purpose” what you managed to do accidentally! 😉
