Serendipity: Happy Accident
May 19, 2012 17:00:17 #
In photography there are shots that are planned and then there are the shots that come to you in the most unusual ways that may be once in a lifetime experience. I have a few and they have been a great source of story telling. How about you? How did you get your serendipity? Please share. We would love to see.
this bee photo, was supposed to catch this bee on a sedum flower, getting it meal from it. When I snapped the shutter, the bee flew away and I went @#*$ as I thought the shot had been ruined. I realized as I was downloading from the disk to the computer, that I had caught the bee in flight.
This shot is of the slug eating a blade of grass. I was in the back yard, going into my house when I noticed something strange about that slug. I bent down and saw this slug eating that blade of grass. I ran into the house as fast as I could and got my point and shoot and was able to shoot a few frames. I have never been able to replicate this shot again.
This third shot, I was outside with my cat Casey and she sat beside these decorative stones and I bent down to pet her when I saw this snake trying to make a meal of this slug. It took sometime for the snake to back into the bushes and make a meal of the slug. I forgot to pet Casey as I ran like lightning to get my camera and take a series of shots.

Thank you all for your kind comments. Do any of you have photos that came to you by accident or you did not anticipate? These shots, I was at the right place at the right time. And, I kept my nose to the ground.
