Sometimes a little camera can pick up feats of epicness after the 100th shot. You click and click and click away and get 99 badly focused, motion-blurred, dark or over exposed shots and just when you’re about to give up your camera lines up just right at a magical moment and suddenly you have a photo that makes you gape in amazement. You don’t have to be a professional to take that one epic shot (although insanely great photographers like Photojunkie and MotionBlur take epic shots on a regular basis), you just have to record life as it happens. My camera for recording life is my blog and my eyes. What’s yours?

A friend of mine and I went to see Iggy Pop a NXNE in Toronto a couple weeks ago and this is the shot his camera found. I took the raw shot of this and edited to make it look as you see above. He’s by no means a professional photographer by any stretch but he’s an example of that lucky person who captured the magic at the click of a shutter trigger. He originally picked up a DSLR camera to take pictures of his purebred Shar Pei and this was his first time taking the expensive camera out into the world.  He doesn’t really have an online presence so I made him a Twitter account cause you gotta give credit where credit is due some how right? follow @oshthree on twitter.

I sent this pic earlier to my friend, Alan Cross. Hopefully he will put it on his ExploreMusic site. Hint Hint.
