    When you go to shoot an event, and you have previously been doing Landscapes, make sure you turn Bracketing OFF.

    How do you mean 'get with the times' ? It has always been Newspeak. Seems to me that you're suggesting that there was a time when it wasn't newspeak. Now tell me ...

    ... how many fingers am I holding up ?

    yeah been caught with incorrect settings before
    it's probably a great idea to get into the habit of returning all settings to their default after a shoot :) / or portion of a shoot (e.g. inside low light going to outside bright)

    I presume a lot of cameras have a menu selection that will do this (mine has)

    :)

    I alway try to set my camera in the car before I go into an event. The main problem I have is when I'm in the middle of shooting and I up the ISO, then get asked to do a group shot that I forget that I'm on ISO 800 :o However I am learning from my mistakes ;)

    My Camera was set for a 9 frame 1 stop bracket. It exposes the first shot normally, then the next four are 1,2,3 & 4 stops under exposed & then the following 4 are 1,2,3 & 4 stops over exposed.

    It's not been as bad as it could have been as I have been able to correct most of them in my RAW processing.

    Did you not notice that the camera was firing more often or slowing down for the slow exposures? Were you just taking lots of shots and the camera was working away. I guess if you have a fast camera it mightn't be as obvious

    edit: get it now, exposure moving up and down

    One nice feature some pentax cameras have is an ISO warning. If ISO is set above a certain level the ISO warning shows in the viewfinder. You can set this level to whatever you want.

    Oh right, so the cam took one bracketed frame every time you pressed the shutter release ? I can see how that could be annoying all right :D When I bracket I normally have it set to do a normal then a +1 and then a -1 all on one press of the button. Hard to miss, so I couldn't really undestand what you were complaining about. "silly old CabanSail" I may have said to myself while shaking my head ruefully.

    It's a good job you weren't shooting film :eek: , although 4 stops is pushing the limits of LR - ouch
