[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 681199, member: 13090"] In order to nail exposure from the get-go I suggest you research how to read and interpret histograms. Once you do you'll wonder how you ever lived without them. [url=https://luminous-landscape.com/understanding-histograms/]Understanding Histograms[/url] [COLOR="#FFFFFF"]...[/COLOR] I would also suggest you to learn how to set a custom White Balance; the D7100 button layout makes it pretty fast and easy to do. You're shooting in raw so you'll total flexibility in adjusting the WB when processing, but nailing WB in-camera is a real time saver down the road and makes any other color corrections you might deem necessary just that much easier.
