When I first started in 35mm photography I would write down all the
information for each shot. I would then go over the nuances of the series
of shots I took, and the single shots I took. It was a great learning tool.
Now, I use program mode (when available) for metering and move the
camera to meter on the pertinent parts of the picture. It is from this that
I figure out how I must manipulate the camera to get the result I have
pictured in my mind. When I don't have time to compose the shot I usually
meter on a similar object and then use exposure compensation for the shots I
will be taking. I use this most often in sports photography and
predominantly use shutter priority for it.
I had noticed how many people have exposure information for their
PUG shots. I will someday submit a photo, but I would almost be assured
that I will not post exposure information - unless I happen to wait until
the MZ-S shows up <g>.
