Show me: Cool mistakes

Some may call this a "MISTAKE", I call it "LUCKY"

I just remembered another cool one we have. I don't know how this could have happened. It's from the Yacht club Christmas setup last year. T his picture shows the train going by AND it shows Santa in the cave behind the train tracks. How can that be?

I'm not sure how to post the EXIF data. I took it with my point and shoot, Olympus C-5000

On the properties advanced summary it says

Focal length 8mm
F-number F/2.8
Exposure time 1 sec.
ISO Speed ISO-320
No Flash

How can that be?

because your exposure time is 1 second, it's most likely got the background in there from between the train carriages and before/after the train passed, hence the fainter train and more solid background.

My brother took this at my wedding - I think he forgot to focus first! It's one of my favorite shots though - sort of mimics the fuzzy, the almost "this isn't real" fairytale feeling of the day.

I don't understand how this one happned. I just took the picture and my friend cam out clear but the lights appear to have moved while the shutter was open but they are fixed to the walls of the lobby of It's Tough to be a Bug

I shot this one of my daughter playing in the volleyball sandbox at Ft. Wilderness campground.

It overexpossed nicely, I love this shot I took on accident. lol
