Well, my first roll got back and you can see my gradual understanding of how my new camera works on it (the first few frames are so underexposed there's nothing on them grin).. there's a few OK pics though (once I figured out the light meter :P ), but that first roll was just plain experimentation anyway. Now, I was wondering about this thingee.. I've used it on the second roll (which is being processed right now) so I'll only know if I'm doing it right after I get the pictures back, but I thought I'd ask. There's an exposure compensation dial on my camera (goes from -3 to +3).. I know (well, I gather) it's for purposely over- or underexposing the picture, but I've also been using it when there's a certain aperture and shutter speed I want for a scene to get the light meter needle in the middle.. is that a good use for it, or am I just gonna end up with bad pics? I'm just eager to get some really good pics back. :P - darkpen
