A good lens without good technique doesn't go far. Even if you thought you were in a different mode, why didn't you review the histogram after you took the shot? You should have your camera set to display the histogram during it's shot review display. You should have checked the histogram, saw how horriblly shift to the right it was, and said "don't move yet" while you check your camera to see what you had set wrong and reshoot.

I know...I know....I realized that after it was all said and done. This was simply a case of me not having a whole lot of experience with this new lens and little time to take the photo. I will just take command of the next situation like this and ask them to not move. I haven't in the past looked at the histogram all that much, but will from now on...thanks for the advice....it's all a learning experience.
