Default Re: Understanhding Exposure

Just a thought and not to be contrary, but to try to be helpful, I do not believe that exposure with a digital camera is any more important than is exposure with a film camera. It is simply different. Frankly, I feel that the histogram is to the digital camera what the Zone System is to a film camera. Both systems are tools for optimizing images through exposure control. I think the problem lies with people wanting everything to be automatic. Blue Ribbon exposure requires human selection and not an automatic setting! If you disagree, do not tune in for more. If you agree, I think you just have to bite the bullet and learn the subtleties of working with histograms or switch to films and learn the subtleties of the Zone System.
