I've done this having the iso too high. But never really understood why, if ISO is one element of exposure why the camera didn't adjust the shutter and aperture to compensate and create a proper exposure. Anyone have a good understanding of why that might be?

PhotoStar - I see you list a 7D and a 40D. Your 7D as well as most new / current models from Nikon and Canon have auto ISO where the ISO is varied automatically by the camera. The older models did not have this feature. You can still manually select a specific ISO value on all cameras as well as 'cap' the ISO at a maximum value for the cameras with the auto ISO feature. I cap my ISO at 3200 on my 7D as the low light pictures are still great but the noise gets obvious at that ISO setting. And yep ... when it can be manually set, we all tend to forget to change / update from the last setting to the next ....

I've tried to always shoot at iso 100 but the more I do, the less practical I find it. Which meant I shot manual iso. As I started to raise that because of low light, it became easier to forget to change back. I realize if the iso is too high in bright light it will blow out, just not sure why when I shoot Aperture priority most of the time, and manual with lights and flash. Wasn't aware the iso could be capped, that must be a setting in menu's somewhere. I now own a 5Diii and can't use my other cameras because there is so much difference in picture quality and camera response, it feels like a step down.

I'd give auto a try on the 5Diii and see if you like it. I actually was just shooting with two flashes of a dark object (lens) on a white sheet and to get the desired result with the white blown-out using a 7D, needed to dial in a specific ISO. Otherwise, I'm AUTO. Try google with search = good max iso on canon 5d mark iii. Looks like somewhere between 6400 and 12,800 (possibly 10,000) is a recommended max ISO to set on the 5Diii.

Why buy a great camera with excellent metering system and opt out of using it? Does shooting full manual give you an ego boost? I take control with aperture or shutter priority and let my expensive built in metering system do the work, unless I am using one of my full manual lenses.

It does not boost ego but l feel auto mode is slower and some time camera gets confuse

Got a few of those Tshirts - usually when you had a millesecond to get a killer shot.
You answered your own question on why the camera didn't compensate / recalculate settings - you were on manual.
I normally shoot in manual unless things are happening damned quick and don't have time to check exposure etc.
Like to think I can get the result I like rather than the auto choice. Maybe more of a masochist than ego tripper

You might settle in quicker if you take your first shot in Aperture or Speed mode, check histogram - switch to manual and then use the numbers as base and to tweak to suit your needs.
