Apature priority ?

"When all else fails... read the manual!" I don't know who said that, but I like it. I also admire people who can sit a read a manual. I don't understand how anyone can do that, but I admire the ability. :)

Yes, and recently read where you should read it from the back to the front. What I hate is the fact that I have to go to my computer to read my G1x manual. Canon must be saving paper. I've never taken a photography class where the instructor didn't stress to "keep your manual handy at all times". I do have a 'cheat sheet' that is quite handy. Thanks everyone for all the replies to this question.

I also use a wireless shutter release for moon shots.


I shot the moon on the last full moon. I set the 10 sec. shutter delay so as to not have to touch the camera during exposure. (I don't own a remote). I'm taking a photography class at the local Jr. College and the local pro teaching the class wants us to shoot in manual mode at all times. He says using any other mode takes away full control of the camera. Very true, but if you are shooting something that is moving quickly and want to get the shot, then by all means use another mode that will allow you to at least get 'something'. Unless you are good enough with your camera to adjust it quickly enough as to still get the shot. I was using my new Canon G1x and wanted to shot the cat running through the backyard. I wanted to use manual, but had no choice but to set it on P and shoot. Then I went in the house and read the manual.

My Bed

I am usually up before my wife in the morning. As regular as clockwork, once I leave the bed, Mr. Pib will come in and claim my spot as his. Maybe the bed is warm there or maybe he has a more devious message, anyway, he claims his spot. After morning coffee, I walked in the other day and he popped up immediately with this "What do you want?" look.

The sun coming through the blinds was just right. The shot is tad overblown in the white area but he is not one to hold a pose for a camera. I clicked and left him to his domain.

Canon EOS M on Automatic (He was not going to give me time to adjust anything.)
f 5.6 1/80 sec ISO-1250 18-55mm Lens
Shot in RAW. Some minor PP in Lightroom. ( I only know minor adjustments.)

How to Clean Your Lens

Thank you for the post. I might add that a cheap ear syringe works about as well. Also, keep your lens caps on until the last moment. And keep your camera facing downward when the lens is off. I watched a lady rub her front element with her t-shirt! A Canon 70-200 f2.8! I Wanted to cry, haha. I just couldn't help but think that she didn't buy that lens. And, no it didn't have a filter attached.

Do you have windwos 7 or 8? I don't think it was in earlier versions. Also most good software that come with cameras are able to view this data. It's important, so don't give up trying to find it. If you want me to see if it's available PM me and I will give you my e-mail address and you can send me a photo. David


Thanks David, I use an Apple MacBook. I can see my personal EXIF data. The admin pages I was reading on UHH said that the EXIF data is stripped from the pictures downloaded to the site. It went on to say that the persons name is associated with the picture so, for privacy reasonsÂ…. Let me know if theres been a change. I took a class on photography with the local pro, here in town, and we had to always bring the, shutter speed, f-stop, ISO, focal length... with us to classÂ… It sure was nice to know what the other students used for camera settings to take the photos.

You need to save the downloaded image to your computer, right click the image and look in the details tab(for Windows). Sometimes, some programs will strip that info out. That is why it is better if posters add those info in the post.


Thanks, I'll give it a try.

You can get the exif on the photos that you are interested in by downloading them to your computer and then clicking on 'properties'
I agree on the why do you like it comments. There just isn't enough of them.
As far as suggestion we have a 'photo analysis' section where there are several people that tell you what is good about the photo and what to do to improve.
You have to subscribe to those to get them but its free

Now to the real matter at hand:
Welcome to the forum. You are among friends here so just take your shoes off and stay awhile. What we do here is shot and post, shot and post, shot and post. But a warning comes with it, this site is VERY addictive. You sit down and boot it up 'just to see what's going on' and bingo it's lunch time. So be careful :-D

Once again welcome to the forum :thumbup:

I can't seem to get the EXIF data when I 'download' photos. I was reading where the EXIF data is stripped out of the pictures for 'privacy' reasons.

Manual exposure/spot metering question
Chuck_893 wrote:
I have a concern about bracketing on a wedding. The problem as I see it is that expressions, nuance, a little breeze blowing the gown just so &c &c &c are things that occur only once, and only for that fraction of a second it takes to make the exposure. If the exposure is wrong because you are bracketing (and Gumperson's Law says that it will be) you may just have the perfect expression or nuance or whatever on the overexposed-the-gown-is-blown frame. Granted, if you are shooting raw you may be able to save an overexposed frame. May. Be. I learned the craft in film days when we had to nail the exposure in camera every shot because we couldn't do much with it after the fact. That's not to say that bracketing is bad; it's just that when shooting people in a fluid situation, every shot counts. :D

Thanks. I was thinking about the original question, (spot metering when taking landscape pictures).
