Correcting a mistake.

By Silver Blue

You can tell I’m an amateur. I was photographing an event indoors in bad lighting on Wednesday night. Today, I went out shooting in broad daylight.

Ahem. I forgot to reset the ISO on my camera, ergo, I shot everything, in bright daylight, AT 6400 ISO. Now, if you don’t know what that does, allow me to demonstrate:

Severely overexposed. Basically useless. Thank the stars I was shooting in dual mode: RAW + JPG. Using RAW, I was able to recapture some of the detail and using a saturation on the sky, I was able to come up with this:

Not perfect my any stretch of the imagination. Fortunately, this church is local (New Mount Olive Church in Hampton), so I’ll be able to get by later this summer and take some CORRECT photos of it. Sigh.

Maybe I should have just stayed in bed this morning.
