I have a Nikon D90. I want to shoot my daughter while she skies. All the reading have been doing says you want to overexpose by +1 or +2 stops when shooting with snow to keep the snow looking white.
So I have a few questions.....What mode should I shoot in? A or S, or something else. From the reading I have done it seems the A would be best so I can control the light and let the camera choose the shutter speed. So say I choose my f/stop, then I use EV and go +1 or +2 wont the camera re adjust the shutter speed to get what it thinks is the correct exposure? Defeating the overexposure I made with the exposure comp. No matter what mode I choose weather it be P, A, or S isn't that what the camera tries to do....get the correct exposure by adjusting something to correct my setting? So how does the EV do what you want it to without the camera making changes to my changes? The only conclustion I come to is using the M mode, and in M mode the EV isn't needed because I am setting everything anyway.
Some please help me understand....I have been readin and reading...and the more reading I do the more confused I get.
