Unintentional Camera Movement.

Taken while I was running with a friend through a tunnel on Hawk Hill. As we ran, my finger accidentally hit the shutter button and I ended up with a 1/6 of a second snap of Nicole and the tunnel. A happy accident.

But that led to a tough question: how should I process the resulting photo? Post-processing involves many choices and Lightroom has so many buttons... so I pushed them all, lol.

Anyway, I ended up with four final candidates and I really like them all, for different reasons. My favorites are the first and the last.

@BobHorowitz First and last are my favorites too. If I had to choose, I would go for nr 1 👍

@antoinnesterk I go through these decisions just about every time I take a photo. I usually know where I want to end up but sometimes I get sidetracked along the way when I see something else I might like.

Photo # 1 was my original intention. But then I got pulled into the possibilities of softness, desaturation, and monochrome. Number 4 was where I ended up... with a graphic novel illustration from the 1990s.

@BobHorowitz I know what you mean. I usually get back to the first one. Editing could be fun, but it also could take a lot of time. If I have two or three shots, I sometimes paste the alternative edits on the second one 😀
