199/166 + 1
At my last visit to the Osprey nest, babies were testing their wings and almost ready to fledge. I am hoping to catch one of their first flights. This evening I made a quick visit. Upon getting out of the car into the thick humid air, I was swarmed by black biting and greenhead flies. I decided to brave it out and walked to the nest. Babies were busy testing their wings and getting some lift. I shot off rapid fire and captured a bunch of what I thought would be great photographs, only to come home, upload and realize I had the totally wrong settings and all of the photos were black! Yes, after all this time I still have days like this.

It is refreshing to read when someone else has their settings all wrong and have nothing to show for their efforts but junk fotos. I feel a bit better now. Thank you.
Bummer about the shots but you ended up with something very different in any event! Guess we need some bug spray for these adventures.
Aaahhh! I did the "wrong setting" thing too in Disneyland-- had it on manual for an inside dark ride, came outside and shot a *ton* of shots of the boardwalk area (and never checked any of them-- what was I thinking?) and they were all white! grrrrrrrr
I love the details in the wings on this dragonfly-- awesome!
That's a relieve that it happens to all of us. Mine were blown as I bumped it to overexposure not even knowing I did it.
You'll get them next time ;)
