Understanding manual exposure isn't an overly difficult concept but remembering the proper exposure for different conditions is not easy. Now I understand why they say some photographers really know their light. It isn't the lighting setups that needs to be learned but seeing the differences in light patterns in the image so one can visualize the end result. If you can see the f-stop differences between the elements of the image then you can see it as light or as dark. So I am now trying to avoid using the camera to meter the photo but to "guess" what it is and see the result before clicking on the shutter.
