Wrong #%&* camera settings

[MitchP]

This girl showed up right as I started walking. Nice light, slow speed, great angle... and the wrong settings. Argh! By the time I figured out why I wasn't focusing I had already fallen behind her. So it goes.

I totally understand the frustration as I do this same thing more often than I care to mention. You managed a nice shot despite that having the settings ready.

Very nice shot with beautiful light! Wonderful focus on the eye!

If I had gotten that shot I would have kept the rest a secret

It's a nice shot with the lighting and all.

Thanks everybody! I've missed plenty of shots before, but not a softball pitch like this was. She probably saw the wrong settings and decided to torture me by flying slowly by.... They're all against me, you know.

Thanks PJIM! The whole experience made me feel like it was a consolation shot. She'll be back.

Still a nice shot.
