Gotta say I agree with Ted on this not thing routine. I often have people 
ask me why did you do that/how did you do that and the only answer I can 
give is "It felt right."  I very seldome can tell what aperature/shutter 
speed I used...just what gave me the correct exposure with the look I 
want.

Remind me to never drive on the same raods you are on.  ;)
