[QUOTE="editorial_use_only, post: 702341, member: 40895"] Yes you are at least a stop over. I would not use exposure to try and smooth out backdrop wrinkles. That's a task for basic Photoshop. If you don't have or can't afford Photoshop, try GIMP. All of those things have their own learning curve too. I have a light meter, and haven't used it in 10 years I bet. Usually I can judge from the camera LCD and if it's not exactly right I can get close enough. Your camera may show you blown highlights. Zoom in. Also you might want to look into tethering. For you that's what I would suggest. If the computer is in a different room, that's not a great setup but just get yourself the right cable. If you can tether for studio stuff that is the way to go.
