[QUOTE="bluebird, post: 334003, member: 16097"] Hey everyone! I'm fairly new to digital SLRs, and I've mostly been using mine for indoor portrait shoots of my daughter (now 16mos). I've been getting great results with my indoor shots, but when I took the camera on a family trip to Colonial Williamsburg, it seemed like my exposures were all over the place. I took several shots in a row of my mother with my daughter, and some of them came out great, while others were significantly over-exposed. I have been using spot metering, since I often take pictures in the house and I was having trouble with my subjects being under-exposed when they were standing near a window. I haven't loaded these into lightroom yet, and I'm hoping that maybe some of them are salvageable, but for next time, what can I change to avoid this? Am I using the wrong settings? Framing my subjects poorly? Here are a few examples, un-cropped and un-edited. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
