Question for you and Paul S. What are your histograms looking like at 4-5 sec and f8 ish. Are you getting a well balanced mountain type curve from low end to high ends, or is it more of a mid tone mountain curve, that i seem to get.
Reason i ask, is i find if i expose for a well rounded histo, the shot looks really blown out, so i go for the midrange type of hist. No real hilites or shadows.. Dave Quoting "Ralf R.
