Some photographers would have you believe that all of their best images are done on purpose, or that each click of their camera results in a masterpiece. Don’t believe it. This picture helps explain why:

The snapshot of this stunning Lamborghini was actually taken at an auto show. Auto shows are notoriously hard to get good shots at – people walk in your way, the lighting sucks, etc etc etc. Or sometimes (like in this case) it’s your own fault and your camera settings are wrong. This photo was actually taken with a way too slow shutter speed. However, when reviewing the image the dim look adds to the mystery and wonderment that already exists anytime Lamborghini’s flagship makes an appearance. The added benefit was that it also deleted the usual auto show ‘bad’ stuff – for example people in the way or ceiling lights blowing out highlights on the car.

This image reminds me to experiment, to think outside of the box. “Technically” perfect isn’t always best. And so it is with so many other things, even outside of photography. Play around a little bit at whatever your job or chosen craft is. You might be pleasantly surprised at the results.
