I used to come here every day, many times each day. For the past month or so, I’ve been too involved in too many things. I’m sure I haven’t yet read “those former links”, or I would have responded and remembered. I’m way behind, and now I’m out of town again, and like before, with very poor internet access. I expect that to improve next week.
Totally my fault - my other devices recognize where I’m at, and adjust the settings accordingly, but not my current cameras. I adjusted the location and the time the first chance I had in Colorado, and I adjusted both again the evening that I posted the rabbits photo. Guilty as charged. Yes, I do realize what you said. The better way to do this from now on, will be to make these adjustments before I even leave home, so when I arrive in a new place the cameras are already set. Yep, my mistake…
I guess I didn’t write it clearly enough - I knew the choices, and deliberately set the camera to capture the image I posted, the way I wanted it. Yes, deal with the aperture, and being able to use a high ISO, I could have used a very high shutter speed AND closed down the aperture. I focused on the near rabbit, then the far rabbit, and decided what I wanted, which is what I posted.
I’m not suggesting what I did was “right” or “wrong”, only that it is what I wanted to capture, but next time the shutter speed will be much higher.
When I write stuff like I did up above, it’s a summary of what was going through my mind at the time, and an explanation of why I used the settings I did. When you see the original file, you’ll realize how much I cropped it. Hmm, I will try once more to upload the raw file…nope, no good. Same error message.
