Every time I think I'm getting the hang of photography I make a new mistake and learn a new lesson.
I was outdoors this weekend with some friends and took my Rebel XT along...there was some heavy fog but the sun was shining above it, so conditions were still bright. I had the camera in aperture priority mode and noticed that the speed chosen by the camera was very high, but didn't really think about it and went on shooting.
I downloaded the photos today and they were all very noisy...After checking my settings I realized I left it on ISO 1600 from the last time I took photos, when I was shooting at night! I'm bummed too, because I had some really nice shots that are great other than the noise.
But I'll always check my ISO before taking shots from now on...
