The Muffed Target



The other day I said something to the effect of the almost full moon brushing the treetops before plunging into the mist.
Of course I wanted to take a photo because the scene was beautiful. However, I forgot to adjust the settings and got a massively overexposed imitation of an abstract painting.
What next? Adjust the settings and repeat action. Only, the battery thought better of it and refused to give enough power for another snap.
Oh well, an opportunity lost but more stuff to post for Thom's weekly meme.

Now this is something I do consistently. LOL Even the battery part LOL Well done. Thanks for being such a support to this meme. It means so much to me :) xoxox

I just bought an extra battery for my camera so that can't happen to me anymore! (Now watch, I will forget to take the battery with me.)

I kind of like the border effect of this shot. I can see it would have been gorgeous had it came out. (Does that help?)

Wasn't meant to be. I find a lot of things happen in life this way.

Still looks like a beautiful scrapbook paper element. Have a wonderful day :)

thom - yeah, and i knew i had to recharge...
you know, i'm actually enjoying this meme so you are more than welcome :)

quilly - a spare battery is great but one has to have it at hand.
i'm not sure about the gorgeous part but yes, it does help ;)

lady - sometimes elements conspire and there's little one can do about it (other than be prepared) :)

rosidah - abstract sumi-e painting?
thank you :)
