Usually I only store the best photos I take on my phone but this one was so abysmal I kept it for fun. A robin landed on my knee and I tried to photograph it. If you look hard you can just see the blur of it on the left as it took off. Anyone else with a rubbish photo to share?

I haven't got it here - it was before the days of cameras on phones - but I once took a really splendid photo of Concord just out of sight!

Great cropping, @Cherrytree59!

I once had 24 pictures of just a rough grey sea, I was on a dolphin watching boat, but missed them all, just couldn't press the button in time! Cost me a small fortune to have the film developed

On a trip to San Francisco my husband asked me to video our drive down Lombard street the famous twisting road unfortunately all I ended up taking was a video of the dashboard smile

We asked random stranger to take a picture of us on holiday. The only one looking normal is my daughters’ friend who would look good in a bin bag. It’s so bad that I’d has pride of place in the sitting room 🤣

Vultures in the Gorges du Verdon. I took 3 like the first one here, before finally getting them in shot. Look carefully towards the bottom of the second photo to spot them.

Looks like a guinea pig?🤔

@Not Spaghetti,

There's nothing wrong with your photo of the RSPCA van, the image on it is clearly a Guinea Pig!

I think it is a Cape Barren goose down at Phillip Island. Obviously didn’t want to have its picture taken by me!

Brilliant photos and stories! I have a video somewhere of a pod of killer whales in Norway which comprises of big splashes and nothing else. But they are stored in my mind's eye fortunately.

NotSpaghetti Mon 01-Jul-24 07:15:54

Juggernaut - I love that it is "clearly" guinea pig! grin

But yes, it could be!

Here's a beautiful church interior.

Oh my goodness I’ve just seen this and although I’m a bit late, I might be able to compete well. It’s the inside of my jacket pocket taken on a long walk last week on holiday. I have 18 identical others and 3 videos, all pink! 😂

There needs to be two categories in this competition, pictures taken deliberately and pictures taken by accident. The latter has a distinct advantage because they can be totally blank! 😉

A really boring cushion. No idea what inspired me to photograph it. 😁

Lona Wed 03-Jul-24 08:23:10

What a great thread, it's really made me chuckle 🤣

Oooh! Mizuma I have two identical cushions😄but no pics of them.

Perhaps with your talent Mizuna you could turn it into a fantastic cushion?

Mizuna Wed 03-Jul-24 14:14:00

Me with a squashed nose. 😄

(The cushion wasn't mine by the way. I've no idea how the photo got on to my phone.)

HOW did you even take a photo of yourself like that??? grin

I am on BeReal, at a random time each day members post a picture of their surrounding and then themselves. We have 2 minutes though they can be late. I usually manage the surroundings ok, with minimum ‘styling; but my self portrait frequently is just the top of my head!
