Trust me to mess up the shot of the day. Well it was bound to happen in 365 days. The story? I've got a new camera and what I didn't know was that its program button is very weak. You see I walk around with fixed start settings of A set to f/7.1 I always adjust ISO according to the light conditions and the rest I adjust without looking at the camera. What I didn't realize was that the button moved while camera experienced some friction in my bag =( With an extremely high ISO I could not save the shot since the setting was severely underexposed M. I started to pay attention and since then I caught that #@^!! button slipping every time! But since I know now, I'll always check (I hope). Yeah I know, I should always read the setting reflected in the viewfinder - hmm but what's the point if you know your setting by heart, right? Wrong.
Why I'm I sharing my story? It might help somebody someday... who knows?!
I'm offering an alternate shot. Just a typical Istanbul click. This is the Galata bridge crossing the Golden Horn and the tall tower on the other side is called the Galata tower. This bridge is always packed with fishermen (yes, they do catch some fish!) and is also, in a way, a promenade for walkers.
I'm joining a photojournalism workshop. I'm so excited. I'm hoping that this shot gets someday replace by something that is really good not just OK-ish.
