Every photographer encounters the occasional bloopers and outtakes.

By definition, wikipedia defines a blooper as “a deleted scene, containing a mistake made by a member of the cast or crew…an error made during a live radio or TV broadcast or news report, usually in terms of misspoken words or technical errors.”  So, expanding on that, a photography blooper is an error made by the subject or photographer in a photo session.

Most photography bloopers and outtakes get deleted, but don’t discount all of them. Outtakes are often an opportunity to laugh and smile, and sometimes they end up your favorite images from a session.  Customers often have a soft spot for these funny moments and they make a great 4×6 print thank you gift to include with a purchase.

Here are a few favorites that MCP customers shared on our Facebook Group and Facebook Page (make sure to LIKE/JOIN us at both so you do not miss out on the fun we have). As you’ll see, some outtakes involve bodily fluid, while others have photo bombing, inopportune timing and funny faces. We love them all.

Got a blooper? We’d love you to upload your images in the comments below.  Also every Saturday afternoon on the MCP Page, we do a Silly Saturday post.  You can add your photo(s) to the thread, including iPhone pics, etc.

And make sure to SHARE this post and PIN your favorite photography bloopers and outtakes!

If you counted, you’ll see this makes 21.  But I had to add it here.  Photo by Matt Friedman (yes – my husband took this photo of me) with a Canon 5D MKIII and 24-70 2.8 lens.  Doesn’t it “take great pictures?” Note the amazing blurred subject and perfectly centered subject (me). Edited with Fusion’s One Click Color – just for fun.

    Your camera definitely “takes great pictures.” ;)This was tons of fun – I love bloopers. Great idea for everyone to share! When I do preschool pictures, I usually ask for silly/serious/mad/etc faces from the kids so that they’re laughing real laughs by the time we get to “smile.” Sometimes, those “pretend” ones are my favorite.

    Thought I was getting a great group shot until I went to edit….

    I have always wondered what made my grandson make this face.

    ha ha. this is me throwing a fit while i was trying to get a family picture with my family. I was upset because my daughter gave me bunny ears. I had set my camera on a timer, but forgot it was on continuous shooting when i threw my fit. love how the dog is looking at me in the 3rd picture, lol. now i can laugh, but then, i did not think it was funny.

    I hate to tell you this, but none of the downloaded actions are working for me in Photoshop Elements 13. I made sure I downloaded the ones for Elements & tried the ones for either v.13 or 11 and up. I loaded them just as I do other actions I own, and when I double clicked, the little window came up introducing the action, but when I click continue, nothing happens. I tried making the “background” a layer instead, but that didn’t change anything. I have many actions from various designers, so I am familiar with how they work in Elements 13 as well as in my previous version 11. I am really disappointed and wonder if others have had problems. I do thank you for letting us know that we can use the raw editor on jpegs. That was a wonderful revelation!

      These do work in PSE13. Please contact our help desk for assistance … make sure to send screen shots when you do and explain in detail the issues you are experiencing.
