[QUOTE="voxmagna, post: 496132, member: 38477"] Now that is what I too have been working towards but I'm new to Nikons and thought I must be doing something wrong. I use fixed aperture mode mostly. What I have been doing is using the spot or small group metering modes to get a reading for the sky then lower the camera for the foreground, make a judgement on exposure perhaps a shutter stop equivalent down, shoot and look at the post shot preview to check the burn out areas. If they are few I'll keep the shot and sort out the dark foreground by bending the tone curve in post. On a previous Canon I knew that a few small clipped areas showing in the preview were not there in RAW, but I haven't tested the D750 yet. I can shoot the daylight landscapes at the lower 100-200 ISO so I'm not going to worry too much about bringing up noise in post and at the lower ISOs you have more usable dynamic range.
