What or how do you meter light with the XS? Are you opting out of the matrix style metering canon defaults to? I'd also like to know this as well.

I got the book "Understanding exposure - Bryan peterson" It's an excellent read, highly recommended if you're just starting out with a dslr. latino_heat wrote in post #14609342 I'd also like to know this as well. Also, what kind of lenses do you guys use? The 18-55mm lens that came with the camera is really starting to show its weaknesses especially when I'm doing macro shots. I had the 18-55 non IS and I didn't like it one bit, not really a macro lens. The IS version is a lot better but I upgraded to a Tamron 17-50mm non vc and it's a very nice lens. For macro I'm going to get a Canon 100mm 2.8 macro, check out the lens archives for example shots, both that and the 60mm macro are great lenses ՕFlickr

jcwillia1 Member 136 posts Joined Jun 2012 More info | Jun 22, 2012 13:31 | #6852 I read petersen, he's awfully fond of himself. I liked the book just fine but its not really for beginners IMO. He says way too many things in the book that have no meaning to beginners without a step by step walkthrough. "metered" and "recomposed" are two words he uses throughout that book that are never explained. Newbie || Rebel XS || EF-S 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6 IS
