Duhh What A Idiot

[OlyPaul]

What a idiot I am, this must be the stupidest thing I have done since going digital.

I always shoot Raw, but my Daughter asked me to photograph something for E-Bay so I changed the settings to smallest jpeg thinking it would do as it is not very important, no problem.

You have probably guessed it, yes I forgot to change it back and then took this and a few more that cannot be printed much bigger than 5x4 inch.

E-PL5 f2.8 ISO 1250


Lesson learnt, it is never coming of raw again even for E-bay.

If it's any consolation I've done that in the past, too. Now I always have my camera set to raw plus smallest JPEG, which has very little effect upon card capacity over shooting just raw. Once downloaded to the computor, if it's just for ebay I delete the raw. Otherwise, having a small JPEG in addition to the raw is quite useful, particularlly for viewing in Windows Photo Gallery which doesn't always display the raw.

I bet you don't do that again.

Lovely in whatever form.

It's a super shot.

Maybe you can upsize it to at least 7x5 without too much problem? If not, I take the view that any size print is better than no print!
