Being a sports photographer is no easy job.


Most people look and see someone pressing a button to get a good shot, but there are countless things that can go wrong.


Referees jump in front of the frame, lighting suddenly changes or your camera decides to focus on a pole in the background rather than the game-winning goal.


Someone took notice of these unfortunate situations and dedicated a Twitter account to all the sports photography mishaps.

Anyone on the site can tweet out some of their "missed photos" and tag the account to be featured, and it's a fun way for photographers to be able to laugh at their jobs and get to know one another through these unfortunate circumstances.

Back in 2018, I even got one of my own photos published on the account for an unfortunate focus change during my internship with Minor League Baseball.

Sure, sports photographers are great and have the ability to capture some of sports greatest moments.


But remember, nobody's perfect.
