89/365 "A Mistake"

Cropping this off the bottom would be an improvement to this shot I think.
89/365 "A Mistake" by asterismos.
Here is my very first mistake shot from my archives. I didn't intend to take a silhouette but I really liked how it turned out. Another mistake (even though I like how this turned out) would be the orientation. A landscape orientation would have been better than the portrait orientation that I used. I didn't know anything about exposure or composition at the time I shot this and was using auto mode. My subjects did have a bit of light on their faces as well so I darkened the shadows to make this a full silhouette.

We were all up on a hill just off the Blue Ridge Parkway (about 45min to an hour from Boone) flying kites on what is known as "The Lump". It is a popular overlook for flying remote control airplanes and such. One year (before kids) we watched fireworks from here and it was pretty cool, because we could see so many different cities fireworks all at the same time. (But it didn't beat the time I watched 4th of july fireworks from an airplane but that is another story.)

Even though it was a sort of mistake I saw something in it that reminded me of my father's photos which helped spur me into learning more about photography.
