Sometimes when I am outdoors shooting pictures I might shoot in front of me and then turn around and shoot behind me and I forget to check my camera settings. I use manual camera settings on my camera because I like to control the lighting.

There are times I can end up with a black image from lack of light which most of the time I delete. Changing directions often means changing settings. Sometimes I want to see what it is. That is when editing comes into play.

This picture was totally black but when I edited I loved the way it looked with the noise in the image from lack of light.

Therefore I kept it so I could show you sometimes mistakes do pay off.
