PS - I can't open the images to view the EXIF data... but Firefox and Photoshop will, I just can't remember how to view the EXIF in photoshop or if you even can.
Windows can read EXIF without Photoshop :thumbup:

I loved the FF plugin, though. Too bad Chrome doesn't have any (yet).

Firefox + FxiF ftw. Right click, Properties, gives me everything I need to know.

And yea, but play around with the settings. You'll learn quicker. I learned by shooting on full auto for a bit after experimenting with full manual for a while. When I looked at the data from a full auto pic, I looked at it and took the same pic right after with slightly diff settings. You'll get used to it.
That would be a good way to start. I would recommend Tv or Av modes after that. As long as you understand the relationship between ISO, aperture and shutter speed, then the Tv or Av modes should not be hard to figure out.

That's what I use now almost exclusively. Mostly Av mode actually.

So you're saying my photos are garbage?


Basically.

I'm just saying... you should read up on why you should choose regular ISO's which change sensor sensitivity vs. the 1/2 & 1/3 stop ISO's which are processed in the chip after the shot.

Just saying... you garbage photographer :lawl:

Typically, I do stick to standard ISOs. I wasn't getting the exposures i wanted with ISO200 or 400 because either the white spots get blown out or there isn't enough wheel spin. Ideally, I should've had a ND filter to help with that but they don't make one to fit my fisheye lens properly. So you just gotta make do with whatever you have.
