Rocky landscapes - tips to make good photographs

[thereyougo!]

Depending on how your metering is set (matrix or spot) will affect your exposure on any program mode. I like to stay in spot and sample an area then use EV to compensate.

Thanks. I have my camera set to spot metering too. Now I have set the pic preview to include the histogram preview along with pic preview to help gauge the exposure.

That will be a start but remember that if you are shooting in raw that the preview image and the histogram on the camera screen is based on a jpg not the raw image so there will be differences

Ah. Forgot about that. Is that a good enough indicator about obvious indications of under/over exposure?

Thanks.

Each camera is a little different, so there's some experience required on the part of the photographer. I know for example that on my camera I can take the exposure right till the blinkies just start and still not be blown when I import into LR.
