Thanks. In terms of the picture posted though, would you not expect a brighter image with those settings? And for argument sake, could we suppose that I have on occasion achieved the exact same level of brightness from the same shot of the same room with the same level of lighting, but with a...

Thanks a lot for getting back to me all. The exposure triangle is something I only loosely understand based on my 5 or 6 years experimenting in Manual mode and it's just something I enjoy doing but never got round to thoroughly understanding the science and maths behind it all. I bought this...

Hi, Sorry I don't have much expertise in terms of the numbers and science behind manual shooting and I know my eyes and mind are very capable of exaggerating these things, I just wanted to know if that weren't the issue here, what could it potentially be? I have had excellent use out of the...

Hi all, My DSLR is approaching seven years old and I was perfectly happy with it until today when test shooting indoors in manual mode I realised that the images were unusually underexposed. In terms of the room conditions, I would have expected to produce a perfectly clean visible image at...
