[QUOTE="aZuMi, post: 83769, member: 10045"] Lots of great info already. Back when I was first learning my D90, I also noticed over exposed shots on my old sigma lens. But as you use it, you'll get used to it more. The settings I usually check if I have overexposed shots are: - ISO - I even use low 1.0 if its really sunny. - Shutter - if your shutter speed is "high", it will most likely be overexposed. The D90 max shutter is 4000, so make sure you're below that speed. - Aperature - since you're shooting sailing scenes, I don't think bokeh is important, so you can make your aperture smaller to help reduce shutter. - D-lighting off - I noticed D-lighting made my photos a little overexposed to my liking, so I just turned it off. (not sure if that helps, lol) - Lastly, Cpl or ND filter - those are always welcome to have :) Keeping these in mind helped me learn to control exposure under the sun with my D90. Hopefully it'll help you too.. [/QUOTE]
