Thanks. I was wondering why Karno felt you needed to shoot manual for high and low key shots.

This thread is a conversation, not a photography lesson. But yes, I have learned from some of the comments. They (including yours) have led me to think more about the reasons for full manual.

Maybe the underlying theme of this thread is the RELATIVE importance of "full manual". Some imply it's the only way to go. I maintain that you can be a good photographer and never use full manual. It all depends on how and what you shoot.

Peace, brother.

Not all artists paint alike. But it is still art.

I began my professional photography career carrying a speed graphic, cut film holders, a flash and a light meter. So yes, I know how to use a light meter. But know what I do now? I have a Panasonic Lumix FZ1000. I set the shutter speed that I want, or set the aperture that I want. Then I look through the eyepiece or at the monitor, and turn the rear dial (only the one dial is available) to view how dark or light I want the overall image. I can go in this manner from total black to total light. And it is accurate. What I see is what I get. Any spot changes inside an image is done in PP. Who in this day and age needs to know anything else? Worrying about one-third F stops? Ridiculous. Look at your camera image and make it look the way it looks to you, or the way you want it to look.

Of course, you can do the whole thing with RAW in PP, but I feel it is best to get your basic exposure done in the camera.

Excellent example although potentially negated by aperture or shutter speed and spot metering on the runner?

Yes indeed nice image, again if lighting is not in my favor I may overexpose or underexpose, in manual mode, but I must add this can be done with exposure compensation there are many ways to skin a cat. Honestly sometimes my always in manual thing is a hinderance.

Your very kind and wise, I appreciate that, I learn from you and most on this sight, and agree with what said.
Thank you
