Break Out of Your Rut with Creative Mistakes

If you’ve made a mistake in your creative work, should you fix it and move on? Or is there something to be learned there? Something new and cool? Story time: My mistake One day when I was just getting started with photography, Nicole and I went out just to have some fun taking photos of each other. We actually both, separately, had the idea to go out that weekend for it, so it worked out great that she was down for it too. She knew about this really nice little park about 20 minutes away, it’s got a little pocket pond and a nice big fountain, lots of trees, very picturesque. So we got dressed up in relatively nice clothes, got to the park, and I started taking pictures just of things that were just around. The neighborhood around the park had painted some pumpkins and put them around the park – this was around Halloween time. They were pretty well done! I took pictures of a few of them, but in particular, I took a few of this first pumpkin and I didn’t remember that I had put the white balance was in manual mode, and was way off from what it should have been. Basically the orange pumpkins came out blue. So, that was my mistake – I gotta take a few test shots first next time. What can you learn from mistakes you've made? Let's talk about it.
