Hi Jens, I've hesitated to get into this because I, and most of us here, know you take beautiful photographs. How you do it is your business, not mine. ;-) I will say however that I have learned a huge amount about digital and exposure from two places. One is Bruce Frasers book "Real World Camera RAW", it is where I learned the difference between exposing film and digital. It helped a lot. The other is this site on the Zone System: http://www.zone2tone.co.uk/index.htm I'm sure there are many others but I liked this one best. This is not criticism, just a couple of things that helped an old dog like me learn some new tricks. ;-)
