Re: Understanhding Exposure
Great advice by Bob. Usually, with landscapes, if you have time to shoot it once, you can shoot it twice. Hence, with digital, you can go ahead and fire off a test shot like a polaroid in most cases, and spend some time chimping.
I usually center-weight (using a 6mm circle set using custom functions, not the default 8mm in my cameras) the different areas, average them, and shoot. Usually I weigh a little extra towards the sky to keep some blue (if it's completely blown it's white... not especially desirable). After the first shot, I chimp, adjust, and shoot again until I have it.
