[QUOTE="Blacktop, post: 640215, member: 22693"] Settings do matter. There is a reason we shoot landscapes at different settings then BIF or sports or portraits. Try shooting that osprey with a landscape setting set to ISO 100 and a slower SS. As a matter of fact there are many different settings for the same landscape shot, even if you're on a tripod. The same exact shot might need a whole different setting on a different day depending on weather conditions for example. On a windy day you might need to up your SS so the leaves on the trees will come out sharp. All this comes with experience. Just because you copy someone else's EXIF on a shot that you may want to try, it doesn't mean it's going to work for you. Yes it might be a good starting point, but you still have to experiment and put in the time. This why when someone asks about settings, you can never give a precise answer because it all depends on various factors. BTW I did not finish watching the video. When he started talking about the tens of thousands of shots he took and how one needs to be an artist and all that, I got turned off fast. [/QUOTE]
