Well, you can always use the auto-presets, which definitely are better than leaving it on auto all the time, but once you get the hang of it, use the custom white balance.

Do you shoot RAW? I never mess with stuff like white balance until after...Originally Posted by tbing
I shoot both RAW and jpg. Mostly jpgs now though, cause I hate booting into Windows. Shooting auto-white balance in jpg's make a big difference. In RAW not so much, but it's definitely noticeable. The colors are just that much clearer right out of the glass, which leaves me time to post-process them for further refinement.
Use your aperture to control the DOF (depth of field), and with flowers/macro you can also use the manual flash settings to further the control.
I started with a fully manual film camera, and when you have to set the aperture/shutter speed/exposure comp/etc, you learn what these things do, and you learn to use them to your advantage... so maybe you could set the camera to manual for a bit and see how these things relate to each other?

This isn't a great photo, but I've never seen bioluminesence this bright.

Really nice getting to see Acadia again. My last time there was on my honeymoon in 1973. Nothing quite like dawn patrol now is there? As always, nice imaging T!

tbing - nice landscapes of Acadia... great foregrounds... do yo use NDgrads? if you don't they help level the light and allow more detail when shooting into the sun. that bell shot is great too...
