[QUOTE="Moab Man, post: 100336, member: 11881"] I've decided to join in as I have really enjoyed looking through others pictures. However, as a newbie, the one thing I will do differently is post each new thing I "Learned" along the way. Some of these "Learned" lessons will be obvious lessons to many but I'm sure someone starting out could find them really useful like the one I will add today. Some of them, like today's, are things I already knew but had that AHA! moment where I finally put that piece of the puzzle in its correct spot. Day 1, 2013 - Forgotten Apples [ATTACH=CONFIG]23260._xfImport[/ATTACH] [B]LEARNED: [/B]Pay attention to the exposure meter. I always knew it was there, knew what it was for, but never stopped to think to make sure it was zero'd out. Reason I never paid attention to it? The camera gave me the all is good appropriate green light and beep but I never thought to check what the exposure was doing until... While shooting this orchard picture I heard in my head the voice of the photographer that works for my business say in reference to another picture I took that it looked good but was a little underexposed. That was when I looked at the meter and I was about to make the same mistake. [B]LEARNED:[/B] Auto darkening lenses are quite the handicap when shooting outside in the bright snow. Impossible to see any of the info displayed in the viewfinder. The LCD is also difficult to see. [/QUOTE]
