ABSTRACT

Don’t become too fixed in your ideas about what makes a technically good photograph.

Successful pictures don’t necessarily have to be blur-free, full of detail and an accurate record of

what was in front of your camera. In fact, sometimes what at first seemed like an error can

produce the sort of image that sums up an event or expresses a subject better than a completely

controlled photograph that produces a predictable result. Happy accidents or the unexpected

result mean that you can then explore this approach further, allowing you another chance to

expand your picture-making skills. It’s also great fun.
