Use the A for aperture - this sorts out the WB/light/ISO and allows for any old school bracketing. You can do this very quickly and look through the lens - hence TTL to see what's selected take shots/job done.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-33189733744166555522011-10-11T16:10:45.719+01:002011-10-11T16:10:45.719+01:00John all of the slrs that measure light coming in ...John all of the slrs that measure light coming in through the lens also measure the light coming in through the viewfinder, essential the light meter is in a box with a mirror and prism in it an a lens at each end, the viewfinder lens and the lens that the light goes through to take the pictures.<br /><br />The bags of crisps were of average size i.e. one portion.Michael Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499435016469020417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-87614218150931034832011-10-11T15:27:37.878+01:002011-10-11T15:27:37.878+01:00Michael, My Film SLR measures the light coming thr...Michael, My Film SLR measures the light coming through the lens itself and I thought that this also applied to Digital SLR. <br /><br />So it was indeed £0.95 for a single packet of crisps, in which case I hope it was a large packet.John Holyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02284672912775316883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-52419682998089050652011-10-11T11:15:29.549+01:002011-10-11T11:15:29.549+01:00John it was 95p per bag and my fault for not doing...John it was 95p per bag and my fault for not doing a packed lunch, I though doing it this way would be interesting for people who read the blog, but the price was too high.<br /><br />The under exposure seems to be a feature of digital slrs, partly I think light getting in through the viewfinder and effecting the metering.Michael Childhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499435016469020417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-36174190205639156412011-10-11T10:35:52.420+01:002011-10-11T10:35:52.420+01:00Michael, I have just re read your blog.

It was not 95p per bag of crisps, but rather 95p was the total for several bags of crisps?John Holyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02284672912775316883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3575321478441277410.post-34483078716818661362011-10-11T10:33:02.544+01:002011-10-11T10:33:02.544+01:00Michael, You say, " Mine opted for a bag of c...Michael, You say, " Mine opted for a bag of crisps each at 95p". How big was the bag?<br /><br />I never eat at places like this because I will not pay their inflated prices as a matter of principle. Consequently, I either take sandwiches or eat at home. <br /><br />The only exception for me has been an occasion about 4 years at the Science Museum where we got a good meal at a good price. I don't know what their restaurant is like today.<br /><br />On the subject of your photos, Michael: They are in the main underexposed. But this does not matter to me because I can fix them with a click of the mouse.John Holyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02284672912775316883noreply@blogger.com
