Loupey...

Thanks for the parameters for shooting... I have been shooting with the P,S &A modes for most of my wildlife shots adjusting the variable in the S & A modes when I wanted a larger DOF or was trying to catch something that required a faster shutter speed. The ventures off into M mode usually brought about under exposed shots... For the most part I have been happy with my shots but they usually require a little PP work for final touches. I have discovered that if I am going to err on the side of caution slight over exposure was better for PP corrections than the under exposures. The latter seems to bring out more noise. Any tips on how to really launch myself into the M mode will be greatly appreciated. I love the single manual focus guide with my D7000 unless my eyes are tired from taking pics for a long period of time... I rely on AF as I have passed 60 and don't trust my eyes for focus as much as I did when I was a film shooter....

Thanks for your input...
