Hi Mick

Welcome to the forum! To help you it would be useful for you to post an image or two and list the EXIF data from each shot as well.

I don't know what an egg shell effect is. The photo is about two stops overexposed and probably a bit out of focus. What else are we supposed to be seeing?

I have to agree with Robert here, I can't see what I would conceive as an eggshell effect: there are definitely sharpness issues, whether camera movement of focus and it is a bit washed out too.

Is this just one (or a few images) or a common occurrence?

It wasn't a settings issue, although it looks like I agree. I have tried a different card and I think it maybe that was the problem. Thanks for your help. Much appreciated.

"I don't know what an egg shell effect is. The photo is about two stops overexposed and probably a bit out of focus."

Me too! I don't know if I totally buy your exif info either. But anyway if true you may have a sticky shutter or a failing shutter.

Interesting subject, too, why? It will be difficult to get a great exposure shooting scenes like that.
