Recently I have learnt the hard way to check and recheck camera settings whilst out and about.
The first situation arose whilst on a tour of the disused parts of Highgate Tube Station.
I thought it had all gone well, and looking at the screen on the camera I was optimistic of some good images.
However, I was very upset when I loaded the images into Lightroom and started editing. Initially it all looked ok, and I have some images which are not too bad, but later on in the sequence of images some started looking very blocky and odd.
I started editing them and realised they looked very poor.
It turns out I must have knocked the touch screen and changed my file type settings from RAW to the smallest JPG option, needless to say these images were deleted as unusable.
Then again whilst on holiday I started thinking my images looked a tad dark.
I had accidentally changed the exposure compensation setting, fortunately the problem was easily resolved in Lightroom this time.
So, the moral of the story is check your settings, then check them again and then keep checking them.
I messed up so you don't have to!!
