!Nomad64 Posted October 19, 2009 Share #22 Posted October 19, 2009 Whenever possible, sunny 16, chimping and bracketing. I do not want look like I'm bragging around, but I tend not to trust the meters as these are calibrated for general use and I'd bracket anyway, so whenever possible I try to squeeze my own brain. It's a helpful exercise indeed. Digital and the screen do help a lot. If I were on films I'd purchase a spotmeter and go for the zone system. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mc_k Posted October 21, 2009 Share #23 Posted October 21, 2009 Am almost always indoors, usually in not that great light. I do not like the ISO settings above 320, but if the light is better I will use 640 to get some headroom. I use f/2 - f/2.8 and expose manually; you can guess within a stop under these conditions, but I do a meter check occasionally or check the histogram. I do not have the time luxury to use aperture priority and lock the exposure. I have the highlight warning enabled. I keep the shutter at 1/60 and faster, and preferably 1/125 for less motion blur. Afterwards I am usually pushing a stop. Once in a while I am outdoors and there is more room for creativity. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
