the jazz trumpeter
One of the things I love about photography is the way that a 'mistake' can sometimes turn out to be a better image than the one you planned. This is an unitentionally long exposure of a trumpet player at Circular Quay in Sydney which turned out much better than the "correct" image I took after I realised the mistake!
