Starry, Starry Night but the Clouds Tried to Hide Them From My Sight

Lesson for everyone, even a dweeb like me who's been shooting for well over 60 years:

Check Your Camera Setting thoroughly before going out on a shoot. I didn't and had been shooting bracketed exposures earlier in the day. While shooting, I thought my D850 was "acting up" because it wouldn't stay on the same shutter settings for the intravoltometer...I should have figured it to then, but it wasn't until I uploaded a herd of images hoping for a meteorite, that I noticed the changes in my EV...BIG DUH-UH!

Fortunately, even though it was a two stop bracket, it didn't blow all of them out the window, as the middle frames throughout were spot on...well, better, anyway.

f/2.8, ISO 500, 14 sec +.67 EV D850, 14mm

Dweeb. That made me laugh.

Still, as Bob Ross said, we don't make mistakes just have happy accidents

Bob Ross used to paint in one of my Art & Hobby stores...he was a funny guy and always smiled. Died way too young.

Brilliant at marketing. I loved his oil medium. I bought it out of desperation back in the day and used it there on out.

Nice image

Ah, so you knew him? That's fantastic. I used to follow his TV series' and tried his technique. I'm not very good but enjoying it.

He certainly seemed like a lovely bloke. Cancer has no conscience.

He was great for sales...whatever he sold of his own stuff went in his pocket but whatever I sold went in mine...I can assure you while I did right well, he did so much better....ah the life of the artist compared to the life of the store owner. Still, it was a lot of fun when he came to town.

I met him once at a trade show. I think he had a son with him who was painting just like him, not surenifnitnwas his son though. Super nice, down to earth. Loved to talk paint chemistry.
