As mentioned in my birding post on Saturday, I found out I had shot about 150 or so photos with my camera in Av (Aperture priority) mode instead of P (program mode), which meant, unbeknownst to me, the camera was handling shutter speed, while allowing me to control the aperture and ISO. I didn’t adjust these because I thought I was using P mode, where I have set up to take the kinds of photos I like. For whatever reason, I thought everything still looked ducky through the EVF, so I kept shooting away until, sometime later, I looked down and saw that the mode dial on my EOS M50 had somehow moved two notches over. Whoops.
This is how it affected action shots. Most of them are blurred messes, but a few have a kind of abstract, oil painting quality to them. This is probably my favorite, a shot tracking a swallow flying low over a pond.
I’ll have the gallery of photos from Saturday–with actual in-focus images!–posted in the next few days.
