i always shoot manule so this apply's to most shots - i take a shot at the setting i think will work - ON a nice bright day thats around 1/1500 at f4 iso 125 then i look at the shot on lcd screen and it should look a little dark say half to 2/3rd under then i ajust from there again to what i think will be right :)
as long as the light stays the same the exsposure will be close enough to alow me to keep the same settings if i then turn say 180 degrees i will do the same thing again.
i dont very often look at that histergram thingey .
you must keep your eye on the clouds though as they change so you must change .
Rob.
eddit for my camera lcd -if the image is a little dark its very very close to what i want for when i put them on the computer.
opps got to go back to work im late -but im the boss lol

Nice catch, Rob. :) :) Exposure is spot on.

Does he expect us to be shocked, or impressed? :)
