I think metering was the problem Les not iso. That white bird against a dark background the camera made the wrong decision.

Tried my hand on lightpainting and came up with these:

Well, I selected shutter priority to get the 1/1000s shutter speed and I had auto-ISO on, so the camera bumped the ISO up to 900. Maybe I could have selected 1/125s, and then the ISO would have been, what, 250? -- which would have preserved more detail.

In the Navy, engineering rates (jobs) are designated by the name Fireman for an E3.

All sailors are trained in actual firefighting and basic damage control.
If a fire breaks out on a ship everyone puts it out.


Sir Les, LOL. :D

@gen2roller: Now that really IS a fish-eye view!:D

Nice shot.
