Only the pervert who thinks 'hell' is a bad word. If that bothers him/her, let me introduce you to the seven deadly words the FCC won't let you say on TV:

*Note that both your speed and f setting changed. Are you sure you weren't really in program mode?

Since you didn't have the camera in the exact same place, your metering could have exposed for a darker portions in one shot and a lighter or sky reflected portion in another shot.

Just saying.

OMG GEN! What is up with so many members on this forum including you????

Please explain to me what is the thought process prior to posting a reply that will land on page 11? Do you honestly think that there hasn't been an answer by now???

Sounds like you might have inadvertantly nudged it into another mode, I have done that - the one beyond manual is "effects", for a while I thought my camera broke. The one before it may have effects on shutter speed, or as others have pointed out, it may be the metering mode...these are fantastically complex cameras, I have been using DSLR's for 15 years now and still they can perplex me and catch me off guard with their myriad settings. Clumsiness can cause hitting a wrong button somewhere and screwing a shot up.
Solution is to recheck settings and repeat and see if the same effect happens. To be really scientific and have a "control" you would need like a friend to have a similar camera and see if it does the same thing on the exact same settings.
Again, the metering suggestion, if a "spot" metering setting is pointed a shadow or dark area, it will slow the shutter to bring out THAT area, like a face, which may be desirable, (but not with your car) and overexpose the rest of the picture. That would be one thing that would cause the overexposure you posted. (this is why HDR was invented, to bring out shadows and highlights without doing exactly what you did).

UNREAL!!!!!

GENorkus Loc: Washington Twp, Michigan

WOW!!! Eleven pages!

(No wonder why I skipped to the end.)

tdekany Loc: Oregon

That is exactly what my question is about!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why would you skip? Wouldn't common sense tell you that the chances of figuring out the issue has been long solved?

GENNorkus.... go back to page 4 I posted the ExIF info for both shots is there. Manual Mode f and ISO did not change 24 seconds later the second shot washout photo was at 1/250 while the first was at 1/1000.

Where did you get info that the f stop had changed..... Trump's lady in the blue dress, Carolann Conway, must have provided you that alternate fact. We are all having great fun here... as it should be.

Camera auto comment: Just watching "why do planes crash".... The Airbus is programed from takeoff to landing ... all handled by on board computer as are our cameras. have faith.... My old TZ3 Panny would shoot the moon, say that it would take multi shots and blend them even if I moved slightly. Fantastic and that was years ago... 2007... my hand calculator says it was 10 years ago!!!

Fewer than 7 on PBS, for sure!

Bud S Loc: Logan Ohio

camera didn't get set to bracket exposure did it? I've done that by accident before.

Apaflo Loc: Anchorage, Alaska

Your Exif data was mostly useless (like the GPS data field) and did not include the single most significant data: the camera was bracketing. You missed that and claimed the OP manually changed the configuration (using invalid logic based on your assumed alternative facts).

Plus the first post on page 3 actually did have all the pertinent Exif data, so your post on page 4 was late...

Thanks, I had no clue what the "T" was all about...
