Description it could be a hat for a salamander

taken with a Minolta x-700 on kodak 400 film.
camera settings? no clue
the lighter spot in the top right corner was a light leak on the camera where the electrical tape slipped. oops!
plus, when the film was developed it got stuck in the machine where fluids dried on it and messed up the photos, hence all the texture and light drips. almost suits the photo though.. there is probably a dog hair or two in there because my scanner is dirty and my dogs are hairy.

yes that IS magical... and the drips do fit it. they werent a mistake, it was MEANT TO BE!!!! hehe!
of course, the focus (meaning fuzzy and clear this time) is stunning. as WELL as the subject focus.

What a great shot. I love little salamander hats like that lol.
The drips and hair and light leaks and whatnot really only add to the quality of this photo, I must say.

Love it love it love it. This picture reminds me of the trips I used to take to the moors (in England) every weekend, searching for insects and signs of magic. I'd come across many toadstools, and I always believed that they were one inhabited by fairies

those sound like fun trips!
have you ever come across a fairy ring? when i lived in the woods there was an area beside the road where there were fairy rings everywhere. some were so big they were overlapping. it was so magical to see every time we drove past

I am completely in love with this one. I don't think you could have had a more fortunate sequence of screwups.
