i have other pics that were very overexposed too, haha. i'd rather have under than over anything h:


i started the trip using aperture priority. towards the end i figured i should use shutter priority.
You don't really want to keep it on shutter priority unless you are looking to do pan-shots or time stop shots. You actually wanted to keep it on Manual so that you can change it all. Remember the camera meters the whole shot (unless you have it on another setting), and it meters with greys not whites in mind. I usually am 1 line beyond 0 in my camera. (-,,,.,,,0,,,.,,,+)
