Learn From My Mistake


Learn From My Mistake

This is what happens when you fail to check your equipment settings before going out to shoot birds in flight. Previously I had been using my camera in Single-Shot mode and you guessed it. I forgot to switch it back to AI Servo when we got out of the car. This would have been a killer shot IF I weren't an idiot :).

  1. Kills me when I forget to change my exposure compensation, program mode, or white balance setting.

    Bugs the heck out of me. But since I shoot flowers, I just adjust. The birds leave so your shoots are much more challenging.

    Love your work though.

  2. Thanks Kimberly. The thing that is most frustrating about this is I know better. Earlier while shooting some other stuff I was hearing the focus confirmation beep (don't know if your Sony does that but Canon's can beep when the subject is in focus). That should have been clue enough that I wasn't using the right mode. Oh well, live and learn as they say.
