And the light burns my eyes...#walking #night #slowshutter #longexposure #intentionalcameramovement #deliberateerror #inpursuitoferror #creative #play #experimentalphotography

Forth Bridge long exposure while trundling across on the train. Nicely unexpected combo of over exposure and stretchy pixels! #deliberateerror #longexposure #movement #unexpected #travelphotography #inpursuitoferror #phonephotography

It's alive! I was enjoying the views of Perth at night, reflected in the still waters of the Tay, but couldn't resist making it dance in a long exposure! #deliberateerror #error #longexposure #intentionalcameramovement #experimentalphotography #inpursuitoferror #perthscotland #cityatnight

At speed. The lure of a train window at night, watching the outside world zip past, catching fleeting traces of light. #movement #trainwindow #blur #night #light #abstractphotography #photographingwhilemoving #travel #experimentalphotography #inpursuitoferror

Found the "light painting" mode on my phone. Cue some fun in these dark evenings drawing the light across the surface of the photograph. With a phone you can see this trace in real time, but it's like chasing the idea of a drawing without fully knowing the outcome. Each time a very different result. #intentionalcameramovement #lightpainting #deliberateerror #unexpected #performingcamera #abstract #experimentalphotography #inpursuitoferror

Motional. So when is an 'error' not an error? The project's name sometimes seems insufficient to capture all the complexity of the photographs. But a distinction between the accident and the improvisation (which this is) highlights the connection between them all: either unintended or unexpected the resulting image is a surprise, however it arises. #intentionalcameramovement #deliberateerror #inpursuitoferror #lightpainting #abstract #surprise #experimentalphotography
