Since I'm feeling generous today, I thought I'd do some quick examples. They are both SOOC and I have not altered or doctored them in any way. The first shot I shot in AV mode. I had my ap at 3.2. AV told me that my shutter should be 1/2000 but would widely leap at guesses at the slightest change of hand. I metered in the EXACT SAME SPOT for the shot I took in manual. I then fiddled with the 3.2 to try to get it out of underexposure and took about 5 pictures with the camera getting it wrong every time . Here is the closest it came. (No, I didn't bother with exposure comp)
The next shot I did the same exact picture in manual. I metered off the same spot and it gave me a wild exposure. Obviously trying to take into account how bright it was on the right side of the frame (the window) and the darker (inside) [I spot metered for BOTH these shots, did not change metering modes, but with the Rebel, it has a very wide "spot", which is like 9%, makes spot metering harder). Here's where I say, um nope, I definitly know better than that and I went from an exposure suggestion of around 1/1000 down to 1/200! That is a HUGE difference and anyone can see why it is the better picture. This mode took me less than a minute, and 2 pictures taken.
uh.... that's real generous Kelly.... do you want to explain now to the forum about how you doctored the first image by pulling the exposure compensation back by -2ev????
