Even though it is a lesson I am sure I will forget again it was important for me to suffer through it.  On Wednesday I was playing with the camera in the creek down the road from my house.  The last pictures I took where a three exposure bracket but I never changed the settings prior to putting the camera away.

Move forward one day and I spot a flock of turkeys coming through a field on their way to cross the road (insert joke here).  I perform a quick u-turn in the road so I can grab a few pictures.  In the excitement to capture them I just turned on the camera, pointed it at the turkeys and clicked the shutter.  At the same time they made their dash and then short flight across the road.  That is when I realized the camera took three pictures, two of which where incorrectly exposed.  The turkeys were running so all three pictures had them in different stages across the field.  They were also too far away in the shadows of the woods to get any more pictures.  Lesson learned!

I was able to salvage one of the pictures.  The truly disappointing aspect of this lesson is I was unable to take any other pictures yesterday and when I spotted the turkeys I thought my day was saved.  Not a bad picture, but I would have loved to have clicked off a few more as the took flight and flew over the road.  Next time I should be better prepared.
