[QUOTE="Eye-level, post: 53327, member: 6548"] That is the good old sunny 16 rule Mike! Train yourself to use it till you get so good you can call out the proper exposure for almost any given kind of light...many situations can be tricky but the more you rely on it and your eyes and brain instead of your camera the better you will get at it...the more you will understand how the light works on things...the better your photographs will become...it's a tough row to hoe when it is just so easy to set it at auto... Now it is a pretty nice snap but I must ask you...Did you change the white balance off of incandescent and into another setting? I always shoot with the flash white balance setting outside because it imparts nice golden hour type tones to things...from the look of your snap above it looks like you shot that with the white balance still on incandescent because of all the cool tones... When using manual you have to stay on top of 4 things...aperture, shutter speed, ISO, and white balance...train yourself to check those four things for every shot nearly! [/QUOTE]
