Hi Sally,

Bit short on sun, mind! :?

Wow, I love the lighting on these! I'm always under or overexposed, how do you do it?

Hiya Sandy

I used shutter Prioity on these with the Exposure at -3 and - 7 with the ISO on 160

I think if your going to do some work like this its best to just try different options untill its correct .

The weather was pretty poor that day , But i think the weather played a big part in the images .

Sandy, try to use the Center exposure and mainly, keep watching the histogram. Ideally, the peaks should be distributed evenly across the entire histogram range. Too much on the left and the picture will most probably be underexposed, too much on the right means overexposure. Because of the nature of small sensors, it's better to keep the photos a bit underexposed. Underexposed photos can be fixed but it's almost impossible to restore overexposed areas. Especially in JPEG.

BTW, it's good idea to use exposure bracketing. Unfortunately, GRDIII and all older Ricoh cameras allows just +-0.5EV bracketing. Only GXR currently allows +-2EV BKT.
