Glenn, had I underexposed a half a stop, then I would have set my shutter speed to 160? Slower shutter speed lets more light in, so a shutter speed of 50 would have blown all highlights. A shutter speed of 160, as Jay did, would darken (?) the picture or the sky? Numbers going in the opposite direction of their function confuse me easily. It wasn't until I saw the F stop as a division problem that I could easily make sense of it.
