    My theory would be that the first is a bit overexposed? Posted 2 years ago

      It looks like that. The weird thing is that I used flash for the other photo (the secoond one), not this one. I guess the settings, mainly the f-stop, make that much of a difference? Posted 2 years ago

        Yes, consider this scale:

        https://www.outdoorphotographyschool.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/Table-of-apertures-and-areas-1120x600.jpg

        From f/2.8 to f/11 is 4 stops. That's 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 16. So f/11 lets in 16(!!!) times less light into your lens opening compared to f/2.8.         Posted 2 years ago

          Makes sense. This happened to me again this morning. The AV settings on my camera are wonky. I need to make some adjustments. Posted 2 years ago

            So the camera was in AV mode yet auto-selected aperture on its own? Posted 2 years ago

              I don't know. Maybe? Lol. I have been pressing too many buttons lately whilst experimenting. But, I need to learn to think first and press second.

              When using AV, my camera used to make the photos a bit darker because I was using a smaller aperture. But, now, they are much brighter. I either changed something else by accident or I don't know what. I might have bumped some buttons bc my focus point changed too.               Posted 2 years ago

                Normally in AV mode, the camera does not select aperture, you do. Don't know about your camera, but changing aperture is normally a firm dial, a minor bump would not change f/2.8 to f/11. Feel free to take this to email if you continue to be stuck. Posted 2 years ago
