Never forget about auto bracketing

Thursday, May 28th, 2009

Or rather, never forget to turn off auto bracketing.

A few years ago a friend of mine had to return his Nikon D2 (H?  Don’t remember.).  The internal metering was going batty – you could focus on a flower and it would fluctuation, without moving the camera, from 1/8000 sec to 5 secs.  Quickly, too.

Yesterday, I was afraid that my SLR was starting to go down the same path.  Crappy over- and under-exposed pics.  Lousy results.  I’m getting depressed.

Today I noticed that it was set for a 9-picture bracket, for HDR photos.
