My error I took about 3 years ago and I was trying to get some nice sunset pictures at the park, I’m still not sure what happened to this photo or how this accident happened, but it was cool enough for me not to delete it.

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
