[QUOTE="snaphappy, post: 149226, member: 12198"] Thanx Roy the trick for me was in learning what the light meter is and what it's telling me. Once I figured out it was telling me something it suddenly everything started being alot less intimidating. Seems simple I know. I was using "A" and "S" because I was reading everyones posts and understanding choosing the right aperture or shutter for what I wanted and allowing the camera to choose the other 2 settings in my triangle. Choosing all 3 on my own without understanding the light meter was EXTREMELY frustrating. I didn't get much chance to shoot in my photography class but I did learn what the light meter is. I have learned that a speedlight makes a HUGE difference so I no longer avoid indoor pics. I have also watched her critique what feels like millions of wedding and family photos and watched her in another class actually use models and fiddle and adjust the girls forever while her assistant patiently waited and took portraits. I know that portrait photography as a job is not for me. [/QUOTE]
