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.

Oh dear. This is a photo of a Red Admiral on stinging nettles which as you can see is completely over exposed. The sun's reflection off the bright green/ yellowish leaves completely fooled my camera. This has happened to me before and I'd normally stop the exposure down but this was the only shot I got before the butterfly flew away.
I'm a big fan of Adobe Lightroom for processing photos but I thought this was a lost cause. I nearly deleted it but I thought I'd give it a try.
CLICK on the photo to see what I got after quite a bit of fiddling about. Even I was surprised to retrieve an acceptable photo from a really bad one. Just shows what clever software can do.
