Today I made an accidental study in under exposure. See I was shooting away, in what I thought was aperture priority mode. Well I accidentally also moved the shutter speed from Auto to 4000/sec. As a result, the vast majority of the shot became way under exposed. The most highly exposed parts of the photo, did expose properly and created some beautiful colors. Obviously the contrast between dark and light came out fantastic, with a bit of a magical air to it.

The mistake I made reminded me of a basic need...to make sure I sometimes learn what creative possibilities exist by working around the metered perfect. It can teach me why "right" is "right," and what happens when you push the boundaries to sometimes make some magical air.

P.S. X-E1 with 60mm obviously underexposed!
