I Goofed & Features

Thu Mar 27, 2008, 4:10 AM
Oh do I have a good one for ya! I haven't shot my camera for about a week and the last time I did, I was shooting some flowers in a poorly lit room; so, I turned the ISO up to 800 and played. Well, it was a balmy 38 degrees above zero yesterday (yes, it felt WARM!) and when Dug came home I suggested we go down to one of our favorite spots to shoot for an hour or so.
I'm really not supposed to be walking around right now, but please, I'm only human...:picknose:
So we get down there and start shooting and I'm getting the feel of it again. The sun gets lower and lower and it's time to break out the tripod! I was so excited...I found a couple of good rocks with cool ice chunks on them and started shooting. I couldn't understand why I couldn't open the shutter longer but just figured it was too light and I'd forgotten how long it actually takes for the sun to set...:slow:
Long, obvious story short...got home, put the files on the computer and NOISE. OH CRAP!!! I didn't even realize I had left the ISO up to 800...
I never usually play with the ISO setting because my camera is fairly close to crap when it comes to noise as it is...why add to the problem? But I forgot that I had used it and I have now learned from my mistake. Don't just make sure I have back-up batteries...Double check ALL settings before shooting! :giggle:

:hug:'s to you!

I have done the very same thing to myself so many times that NOW I'm in the habit of setting my camera every time I use it.
You poor baby. :hug:

Haha, that's unfortunate...But like you said, it's a learning experience. It's things like that which have made me approach changing settings myself timidly, until I gt a better handle on it.

Excellent features! I'm stunned.

there are some AWESOME deviations among this feature! :-)
