[QUOTE="AxeMan - Rick S., post: 126289, member: 1746"] HE DOES NOT need to use a light meter, I did not mean to recommend that, it something I just started doing recently and have had a lot of luck with getting to the perfect exposure in "manual mode". Your camera can do the same thing, but just like white balance the camera can be easily fooled, so I use gray cards, and a light meter for a "second opinion" For best results: Use a gray card to set your white balance (very help full if your going to post process) Shoot in RAW (This is going to give you more room for adjustments during post processing, but your going to have to adjust all your other setting too) For fair results: Use auto white balance and shoot JPG You can still adjust in post processing but because of the nature of a JPG you are going to be limited on how much you can adjust.. With out turning this into a RAW / JPG debate that is as simple as I can put it, and why [/QUOTE]
