I used Manual with Auto ISO for quite awhile, but lately have gone back to A or S. I actually got lazy with the Manual Mode and in a couple of brightly lit situations ended up with overexposed shots because the ISO (Auto) didn't go low enough to compensate for my Aperture-shutter settings. It was all because I just didn't pay attention. I may go back to Manual/Auto ISO in the future, but for now, depending on what I am shooting I will use Shutter or Aperture priority. To be honest the different situations will dictate what mode I use (with brain engaged) Ha!
OH, what you really were looking for........ You have a couple of great shots.
