[QUOTE="hrstrat57, post: 414146, member: 27586"] Sounds like you may want to use A priority metering for the situation you describe in conjunction with a custom setting on your functon button as @[URL="http://nikonites.com/member-12496-waynef.html"]WayneF[/URL] describes. That would be the method I would use for the swiftest accurate results. Of course I would shoot RAW always so if I blow the exposure slightly I have more data to manipulate to save a good shot...... If you are firm on not using your cameras automatic features (not a bad thing) you could consider supplementing your kit with and old school light meter or meter and remember like you describe...... I've listed a few fun internet resources for you to wander thru to perhaps accelerate your learning curve! I really like Snapchick and Moose they present material in a manner which I can follow - I am a visual learner first.....You tube and the internet are your friends! Good luck and remember as well this forum is an incredible resource there are a lot of folks around these parts who are world class in their understanding of various topics. I consider us all very lucky that they are so patient in sharing their knowledge and experience. It is an absolute gold mine!
