Re: Photography Thread
It took me some thinking last night, not having had the memories of the control panel on my camera to tell me what
I did that was so wrong yesterday. Then in cold light of morning it dawned on me. I forgot one of the most basic
things I know. I had a FAST lens with me, and I saw a flower emerging from a very fuzzy bud, and I thought, OK,
I am gonna blur the crap out of the background. But in opening the 1.8 lens up all the way, I forgot that the camera
is only going to be able to compensate with shutter speed until it runs out of possible compensations to help me with
the proper exposure. I HAVE several neutral density filters but didn't have one with me. It was gonna be overcast,
so I didn't want to take it and lose it or scratch it. The shots I took looked like crap because I wasn't thinking about
what I was doing for long enough to make a good decision.
