[QUOTE="PavementPilot, post: 21527, member: 4024"] Put your camera in M Mode. Set your aperture on the lens to f/8. Set your ISO to 100, and your shutter to 1/125. This is your basic Sunny 16 rule. Take a shot and look at it with the histogram on. If the histogram peak is far left or center, then either change the f/stop open more or slow the shutter down. The opposite is true if your histogram is right of center. If you want this shutter speed and f/stop, then increase your ISO. You need to remember the exposure triangle and what you change in one aspect will effect the other two. If you are not familiar with the exposure triangle, I would suggest reading a book by Bryan Peterson, Understanding Exposure 3rd Edition or later. I shoot with a Series E 50mm 1.8 on my D3100.
