I think your signature tag line is very fitting. :lol:

OK,now this is really starting to chaff my ass. I have posted pics before,its not a biggie. But now all of a sudden I cant get an image to post from my flicker. Copy/paste the HTML code,tried reducing the size,and it still wont post. Somebody save me from the wiles of the technology Im just not grasping!


Sorry guys for my scatter brained attempt at trying to post a couple pics for observation,but as you see I FINALLY figured it out,lol. So,my question is,how are these images possible? This is straight from the camera,no editing. The darker one is properly exposed for the shutter speed - the clouds were very bright,so naturally the building was going to be darker. The only thing different in how I took the other pic (the better exposed shot?) is the focal point. In the first Im directly on the small window on top of the building,in the second Im off to the right just a teensy weensy bit. So how is it possible for the camera to capture the better exposed image like this? Im very concerned,and more curious.

Not sure if you've noticed but I added information to the images.

What is the exif for photo two, it has been stripped?
What mode were you in (M, Av, etc)?
What metering mode were you using?
Did the sun off to your left happen to come out between the shots?

I just peeked on flicker for exif data on both pics,its there. Always shoot in manual. Metering mode in auto.

Whats odd to me is I took the images litterally a few seconds apart,didnt change anything except the focal point and that only by a tiney margin.

Metering was weighted towards the center,.. when you moved ever so slightly, more of the church was in the center, rather than the bright sky.
That little move is all it took to tell the camera you have totally changed what is the important subject.

Just a theory, but I think it's the likely cause.

Um, Manual... auto metering? I'm confused.

If you did shoot manual then ignore my first reply (we posted together, I did not see your post directly above mine)

If shutter speed and aperture were constant (set manually) then maybe you have an auto ISO mode set, like highlight tone priority?

I'm not familiar with navigating flickr. I found your images on your gallery, but did not see how to find exif info to see the reported exposure info for these images. I think we need this to go any further than continued speculation.

Appreciate the input,and Im hoping your right. Really took me by surprise when I looked at my screen and saw how GOOD it turned out!

For something that drastic, it would have to be a change in lighting. I can barely make out any shadows in the building in the one, but they are very distinct in the other. That is the only reason I would think 2 shots that were exposed identically would have that difference. If you were in manual, whatever metering mode you had has no bearing on the results.

In the 12 sec between shots, the sun could have been blocked by lower faster moving clouds, resulting in the darker image the 2nd time.
