Boy did I mess up. I went flying recently and took the camera with me. I vary rarely take the camera with me because it's hard to fly and shoot at the same time, not to mention risky. When I do take it, I put everything on auto so I don't have to adjust anything, just hold up the camera and shoot.

 Wow was it beautiful! October here in the Midwest is wonderful. Gorgeous fall colors, brilliant blue skies are a pilot and photographers dream. As is the case, an hour in the air felt like 5 minutes. I followed a river for a while and snapped away.
When I got back on the ground I  took some photos of the airplane and  noticed that some ground shots weren't being exposed right. some were light some dark and some the correct exposure and then it hit me. I forgot reset the camera from shooting bracketed photos!

One of the few shots that were salvageable

Needless to say I came home with very few properly exposed shots. Only a few were salvageable. What I did save weren't too bad but man what a bummer!

So take it from someone who's been there, check your camera before you go shooting. 

This is airplane I fly. A 1946 Ercoupe. What a fun ride!
