I bought a D7100 body refurb from B&H. When I got it it had a shutter count of 8. I'm Glad I did it. It has worked flawlessly. Love the camera.

upgraded from a 7000 to a 7100. Love it.

Did you know that in later years Ansel also used his microwave when finished with applying the zone system. He felt it added pop to some of his photos.
He was truly a master and not afraid to experiment.....

Let see you do that with a phone camera. Did you do much PP?

Look into OnOne Software out of Portland Ore. They have a excellent suite of products and there customer service is also excellent. I use both Photoshop CC and On1 Photo 10. You can download and try there product for a period of time. If you like it you can buy it. Reasonably priced also. I have used Photoshop for 25+ years and OnOne products for 20+ years. Also Topaz products are good.

Great suggestions. I like them both. Been a long time since I've used the rule of f-16.

Great discussion.

I don't think we're going to find a conclusive answer here but it is a interesting problem with only PP supplying a reasonable conclusion...... Maybe that is why professionals say "between 10:00 and 4:00 get out of the sun, go into the wood to shoot.....

I agree. I think manual is a good choice. The only decision I would need to make is where was he going to land and what would the light conditions be wherever that may be, no time to change settings. I chose Aperture priority.

yes I shoot in fine/large jpeg and Raw. I am comfortable in Photoshop and generally use it. I can make a decent photo using PP but I want to get it right as I can in the camera first. I still think it's a sensor limitation. I used to experience it in film cameras. It's actually better now then it was with film.

Expose for the light process the shadows.
All good points to keep in mind. I think the issue is on a bright day the camera can't handle the amount of change in light (the difference between white light and black) for the camera sensor to handle. I believe the present day sensors is only good for approx. 7 stops. In the days of film cameras Black and white film could handle 5 - 6 stops, color print film was good for 3-4 stops.
There were ways to expand on that but it got tricky to do. On a bright day we can go 10+ stops, too much for todays sensors.

When I am shooting Aperture Priority I pick the aperture and the camera meters and picks the shutter speed. By raising the ISO all I get is a faster shutter. My only concern there is Electronic noise created by raising the ISO. Remember "The Photographic Triangle".

I also shoot my ISO at 800 quite often; 1600 indoor without a flash. With the d7100 noise is not a problem. Shooting aperture priority I get the aperture I like for my lenses and still a good shutter speed. The days of film, for me, are gone and the rules have changed with digital. Some cameras are better at handling elevated ISOs.
