In my recent post I mentioned that I had inadvertently changed a setting on my camera which was affecting the results of my photographs.
These two photos show the results of my accidentally altering of the exposure compensation setting. The second photo was taken after I got the settings back in order 
Did you use filters?
No filters, no Photoshop manipulation. Both photos are straight from the camera…
That’s a classic ‘before and after,’ Cherie. I love it!
Thanks Ginnie
I wondered if i had done that too recently as the images seemed very light. But your photos are always lovely.
Thanks Liz
Do you have the facility to do spot metering on your camera? I find that that is one of the best ways to get the exposure levels I want
It does do spot metering and spot focusing. There are so many things I still have to try out with it
Over exposure is not a big problem in England.
With so many gloomy days, you tend to have lots of under exposed photos.
Blame the weather.
Ha Ha
Maybe I shouldn’t have changed the setting back 
I am forever changing my settings and forgetting. The worst one is exposure compensation…thank goodness that software has become so advanced
Yes the photo software is great for getting the photo colours back to how they should be
It’s a great way to learn though the use of all your settings
There’s still things I haven’t tried yet on mine. And if worse comes to worse you can always change photo to B&W and then no one is the wiser 
Black and white is a cunning trick
