Old thread here: http://www.rspb.org.uk/community/chat/f/2542/t/22684.aspx
Because the original thread has, fittingly enough, 'gone bad', it's time for a new 'Bad pics' thread. Here, we celebrate the very worst of our wildlife photography. The subject matter is always brilliant, but the photos are very much not. If it's out of focus, chopped in half, frighteningly under- or over-exposed or terrible in some other way, it belongs here :)
Here's my first (first of many, no doubt) contribution to the new thread, a Goldcrest taken at Barnes yesterday. You need only minor incompetence to take a blurry photo, and the same to take a really under-exposed photo, but to do both in one go requires a special level of cackhandedness.

LOL Paul !!! If I had a company dealing with parcels for air courier service I would have used your photo as a logo and for headed notepaper and business cards - just love it !! I'd make a fortune if I was your agent with the quality of photos you produce - bring it on LOL..... although it may take me a little longer to reach the target of 100,000 sales before I get any commission !!
post edit: no more sitting on cliff edges as I don't want to lose my first client !
Hi Paul,
Seeing your "bad" (but really rather effective) picture, I was reminded of one of mine from Minsmere a couple of years ago. It's of a Bittern flying really close to the hide and coming out of nowhere, perhaps not quite as effective as flying into the frame.

A bit trigger happy, and beaten by the beak!
