(13,809 posts)According to the computer, I edited it before I took it.
Some camera needs its clock reset for PST.

(13,809 posts)I was fiddling with close-ups, but the light was so perfect for a photo with the mountains included that I did so.
At that time, I set the mode to Auto. I don't usually do that because auto seems to always shoot wide open, and I often need depth of field.
Settings: effective focal length 215mm, ISO 800, f/4.5, 1/2 second (thank the tripod for that!)
I did have a -2.0 stops bias in place, from the close-ups. Forgot to take it out. No problem. This is the best of the session.
Very minimal post-processing. I downloaded some free and open source raw photo apps, and haven't evaluated them yet.
I'll do so on the very best ones. FWIW, they are Photivo, DigiKam, Darktable and RawTherapee.
Thanks for asking. I always want to ask people what settings they use, so I can learn.
A *wonderful* book is "Examples" by Ansel Adams. A fantastic learning experience.
