[QUOTE="Moab Man, post: 511618, member: 11881"] Don't be discouraged, we have all made mistakes and sometimes really stupid ones when we are experienced enough to know better. My stupid experience was on the Bonneville Salt Flats where people run their cars to set land speed records. But I have to go back in time to the night before when I was photographing the Milky Way. I had cranked up the ISO to 3200. Jump back to the next day. As I'm shooting on the very bright salt flats I kept blowing out photos. I knew it was bright, but not this bright. Eventually I end up at 1/8000 of a second and am totally confused why I'm having to shoot so fast. Then it hits me, DOH! Stupid brain, stupid brain... It taught me a very valuable lesson, CHECK YOUR SH$% BEFORE YOU START! Anyway, keep at it and know that there are plenty of goofy mistakes ahead. I also have a theory that every new camera comes preloaded with a few thousand bad photos before you get to the good stuff. :) [/QUOTE]
