Sometimes it takes you by surprise. Expect one thing all over the place, and then end up with a huge variety. A broken egg is one of the last ideas that would've come to mind for me.

For those who cook - yes this is a common Oops!

unfortunately my fav Oopses are a bit too risque for the site ;)

Shame on you! We could have guessed that from the Angry Princess shot (which I really liked)

Thanks :)

I also chickened out becuase setting up something which looked spontaneous like a popped out b*** is very difficult

But I guess we are also looking at lot of open flys and torn seams of trouser bottoms

Quick everyone list out all your ideas here, that way we will have something different

Maybe "Black Bear" it and call it "Lens capped" ;)

If anyone knows where the skateboarders and rollerbladers hang out there should be plenty of opportunities there.

How 'bout a wilted flower? It's a law that there HAVE to be flower shots! :)

Seems like some ppl in here can post a flower shot in each and every challenge so I cant see why they shouldnt in this one

More likely end up "Stupid Photographer" trick. Although, for a change, I"m tempted to use some of the suggestions posted here.

BTW: Anyone hear about the jillions of phone books which have to be reprinted because that lovely floral shot on the cover happened to be an opium poppy?

I didn't even think that some clever graphic artist may have deliberately snuck in that stock photo without anyone else realizing ... might not be an OOPS after all (except for getting fired).

this challenge is just the photographic equivalent of you've been framed!

If I follow my husband around all day I could get some opps... his most notorious "opps"

Crazy glue in his eye
Cutting his foot with a chain saw
Hitting himself in the eye while doing something with a tire iron... after giving our son the safety lecture...

I am sure given enought time I could get a GREAT picture if I did not pass out first.

How about a nasty big insect landing on a flower.......

I've plenty of good ideas, but they all suffer from at least one of the following problems

1) being really difficult to compose
2) being potentially very painful to any models involved
3) being expensive to set up

I've been down to see my towns skaters and they're all wimps, none of them seem to try anything remotely dangerous or risky.. I may have to offer a cash incentive.. :)

I actually got a good laugh today when discussing this challenge with my mother. I submitted a photo to the "Tools" challenge this week that was obviously before it's time...it's called "Librarian." Significance is that if you look closely, the words framed by my glasses read "Whoops. Sorry."

Too bad I can't tell the future...

oops...
