[QUOTE="N_Addy, post: 73442, member: 9985"] Congrats on getting off of 'auto' mode. That's the first step to learning to create images rather than take snapshots. To answer your question, it really doesn't work that way. There are very few "default" setting for various situations. How you expose any shot depends on a number of variables, the most important of which is your available light. For example, the settings to shoot someone walking down the street in direct sunlight may be different than the same situation on a cloudy day. Experience is your best teacher. Shoot a lot and study what works and what doesn't. Learn how aperture, shutter speed, and ISO work together to make a good image. I'd highly recommend you read this book. It does a great job explaining exposure in easy to understand terms.
