by petrochemist

An early morning (for me at least) view of the castle on the side of the river.

Well sorted and captured.

Looks like the matrix metering got this one correct.

Why shutter priority at 1/60sec?

Best regards

I wanted to maximize depth of field, without introducing camera shake/wind movement. I was confident 1/60 would be sufficient to do the later two, so it got the camera to give the smallest aperture that didn't risk a screw up elsewhere.

(At least I think it wasn't just that the setting got knocked by mistake - which happens too often )

There is something a bit odd with the EXIF reader in this forum, because almost all of my images (e.g. this one) say they are shutter priority, but I know for a fact that image was taken using aperture priority I have never knowingly used shutter priority!

AFAIK, the only images of mine that do not say shutter priority are the ones that I've taken in fully manual mode.

Tim's right, it was taken aperture priority according to the EXIF on the original file (as read by ACDsee).
Meaning I must have adjusted the aperture until I reached the 1/50s limit I'm used to working to for reasonably normal focal lengths. (I know the SR lets me go well beyond this but old habits die hard...)
