Your Best Fail

Post by Richard from Rotterdam »

In between all those magnificent photos posted on scramble.nl, most if not all of us do also take pictures we'd rather hadn't... Cleaning up some folders and moving older photos into Lightroom I came across one or two myself that gave me the "oooohw... ouch" feeling but I thought I'd share one with you to start a whole new - and hopefully very funny, painful or simply embarrassing topic. So feel free to show us your worst! :D

To kick it off, here goes: taken at Florennes a couple years back during a TLP press day.

Malaysia 2011....I f*cked up a photo of a specific take-off angle that I reeeeeeally wanted of a Su-30 :( :D . I made lots of other photos of Su-30's during that six day stay, but this was the angle I really dreamed of and it just made me too nervous, I guess.... The Su-30 came storming down the runway, I aimed my camera, Su-30 rotatinged right in front of us with its wheels retracting....PERFECT...and I just pushed without waiting for focus....chr*st, I was =censored= off with myself, hahaha. I'm okay with it now, but it still is "my best (and worst) fail", haha:

Well, that's not necessary, maybe I over-dramatised a little bit.... :-)

Korean Air 747 moon-crossing

Actually I was pointing at the moon to measure the light when the Korean 747 already made her fly-by. Next time better luck ( just one second ! ).
