Lots of beautifully composed, artfully arranged, clearly thought-out and well-edited photographs in this pool. But what about the shots we get without thinking – or thinking we’re getting something entirely different? Share your happiest accident of the year, and if you want, tell us what you were trying for when you got it.
A reminder that the Your Best Shot 2010 Group Pool is closing later today – so if you haven’t already submitted, you still have some time!
BRISBANE, Australia | For weeks, the flooding in eastern Australia has been a slow-motion disaster, with drenching rain devastating wide swaths of farmland and small towns. Now, rivers are rising in Brisbane, the country’s third-largest city, forcing people to flee both suburbs and skyscrapers.
Flooding that has unfolded since late November across the waterlogged state of Queensland turned suddenly violent Monday, with a cloudburst sending a raging torrent down the Lockyer Valley west of Brisbane. Hundreds had to be rescued by helicopter Tuesday.

What’s in a car? That’s what photographer Orrin Anderson is wondering. Since March 2008 he’s been taking photos of classic vans in and around his neighborhood of Echo Park, Los Angeles. The vans seem like a unique subject as does his preferable mode of shooting, in his own words, “I prefer the van to be the only vehicle in the shot, and I like to shoot in flat, gray light, which is really only common around here during June gloom, so that limits things a bit.” We’re looking forward to seeing the collection grow.
Inspired by the gallery Thriller curated by Strt2. If you haven’t yet, take a look at your photos from last year and add your best to the Your Best Shot 2010 group.
