[QUOTE="Pretzel, post: 149039, member: 12257"] Here's a couple of pics from my first assignment, "Metering to the Middle". We had to set shutter speed to 1/125, ISO to 100, white balance to direct sun, then meter to the middle in manual mode. Since all the other settings were dictated, I metered by adjusting aperture only. Nothing fancy. He wanted all of them in direct sunlight, sun to our back. At least 1 with a shadow involved, one with a bright color, and one "blander"... so after I finally killed the auto-iso (deceivingly hidden from a rookie) and took out the +2 saturation (still don't know where that came from), I nabbed these photos. The 1st is a new flower (my 1 choice) in the new container bed, the 2nd was a rose in front of the building at work, and the 3rd... well, it's obvious. A sign right smack dab in the middle of a CLOSE parking space... that I can't use without getting an obnoxious orange window sticker, LOL.

Then we'll see how shutter speed follows aperture so we can still "Meter" but manipulate to get the desired depth of field. [/QUOTE]
