While setting my Nikon 7000 up to take low light images of our tree and decorations this year, I goofed. Nikkor 18-55, VR:on, f/5, ISO 100, Aperture priority, errant button finger.
It turned out 'interesting'. I was about to delete it when my 2 1/2 year old granddaughter, Charlotte, looked at it and started to giggle and ran away. Seconds later, back she came, with her mother in tow (My daughter!). (We all know how insistent 2 years can be, right?!!)
I was 'instructed' (Again, a 2 year old!!) to show Mama the pretty picture.
************
It didn't get deleted, it got printed and put into a 10 for a dollar, plastic frame [with no glass] for Granddaughter to take home. My daughter just texted me and told me a push pin was dutifully (and carefully) placed and 'The Goof' was hung in her room.
Welp...some day, she will my most brutal critic, so, for now, I will treasure these few happenstances of a genuine compliment!
So here, in all its glory (sic) is 'THE GOOF' I DO apologize...

Welcome to "Grandfathering" land, Joe - its one full of surprises and most of all full of happiness! Merry Christmas to you and family.
Joe,
Keep 'goofing' and remember how you made that shot. Could be applied to other
subjects with lights, year round.
In B&W too!

Cool, you made her very happy with the photograph.
(It is interesting by the way.)
I must confess I can't figure out how you accomplished your "goof". It looks like a double exposure with severe camera movement of some sort of lights superimposed on a photo of a candle in a room. Can you explain your "technique" to produce this effect?

"exactly how i wanted it".... "the way i planed it"........ one or the other.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder! She has an eye for abstract art! And she loves it!

Look at it as a "Artistic Photo", admired by a future "Artistic Photographer", your special, loving, Granddaughter.
All that matters is your granddaughter loved it. She knows good stuff when she sees it.

Works pretty neatly (sometimes) with fireworks!
