In the past I put in my film, exposed according the ISO it had and the conditions I was shooting in, framed the shot and pushed the trigger. Getting it right was about the only thing I had to worry about since there was too much time between the shot taken and the shot seen to allow me a second try at it.Now in the digital age, the shot taken and the shot seen are only as long apart as the shutter used. It gives us plenty an opportunity to get it right for those shot that allow it. But instead of just having to get my exposure right for my ISO and frame it, I have to think about many things more than I had to in the past. What ISO will I use best? Do I underexpose or overexpose a bit to get more out of the scene? How far can I go with my settings and still recover that in post? I'm not saying I have it difficult but while shooting there's a lot more I have to consider than I did in the past. It's because the technology these days gives me much more control than I had in the past. And just like with film, occasionally I have to wait until I am doing post, to see if I got it right. The LCD only shows that much.</blockquote>
