Nooooooo!

Damn and blast! I got up before five this morning so that I could go out and get some photos of bluebells in woods before work. I didn’t get to the woods as early as I would have liked (I wanted to get really muted break-of-day colours), but I was so pleased to actually find some bluebells (in the woods near Ockley on the A29) that I didn’t mind so much.

To cut the story short, just as I was wrapping up I realised that all the photos had been shot at ISO 1600! Bugger. The last time I used my camera was at a work do on Friday night. As I was only taking snaps that night I shot at this speed so I didn’t need to use a flash. The pictures would only be viewed on screen so it wouldn’t matter about the noisy pictures. Anyway, as a rule I reset the ‘film speed’ to ISO 100 once I’m done, but I was so drunk that night I completely forgot.

The net result of all this is that all my snaps from this morning will be noisy and not sharp (so much for shooting at f/22), so that’s a little annoying. Still, you live and learn!

I’ll try and process the snaps and drop them into my flickr account tonight when I get home…
