It took me 8 months to start playing with light...why so long? Well like most beginners I am terrified to loose a great picture by playing too much with the settings. Perhaps now I have enough of what are considered good photos that loosing one isn't such a big deal anymore? What ever the reason it took me this long to adventure away from what was safe. Using a combination of metering modes and exposures can bring you into a whole new realm of photography. It's only been a few days and I have had a few very successful shots with my new settings. This has been encouraging enough to continue on this new adventure. It's a real challenge since what should work often doesn't and what shouldn't often does in photography. So although people are willing to give you great advice and excellent direction....each day, each hour, each minute brings a different light and a whole new picture to each of us.
AS I SEE IT

this is so true about light and how we all see things. I'm excited that you're not worried about losing a picture or two. It sounds like you took it up a notch, congrats on that.
