Normally, I check at least the first image when I start shooting. Tonight, I didn't and instead of a 200 iso, it was on 1250 iso! The sad part is I think it would have been my best macro image yet. Here's a link to the .NEF file if someone want to give it a go.

It pays to check your LCD screen occasionally, just to make sure your image looks close to normal exposure.
Yep, clipped is clipped and no amount of post processing is going to recover any detail. On the bright side (groan) the hopper looks good.
I played with them a little but, they are too far gone. I managed to reduce the noise a little on the Hopper but, the fly was so bad that the de noise software thought it was part of the picture. Detail in both are shot out completely.
I'm trying to get in the habit of checking my settings often myself. My shutter gets changed by accident quite often. I've lost some really nice shots due to not checking my camera.
I'll chalk up this one as a lesson learned.
