You guys are way to complex for me. I set the camera on aperture 
priority, point and shoot. KISS, as Ted says ;-)

I will admit to peeking at the histogram if I have time (I have the 
3-second review set) and retaking the picture if the histogram looks 
ridiculous. But when shooting stuff like my Week 37 PAWs, I don't have 
time for that.
