Hey Fletch,

Yep, I use evaluative on all-things landscape and to your point, sometimes it becomes a dart throwing session in terms of finding the right combinations. I try to salvage highlights where possible and will usually settle for crushed blacks instead of blown highlights...but sometimes the scene just goes beyond what the sensor can deal with, and that's when I start dialing up and down the exposure compensation dial and checking that histogram...

Right now, I'm pretty pumped that I can shoot a bunch of outdoor shots and largely keep the histogram within an acceptable range...for me, learning to interpret the RGB histogram has easily had the greatest impact on my shots in terms of correct exposure, and I have it turned on all the time now...I don't feel like I can shoot without it. When shooting outside it gives me the best feedback on what I need to adjust, and that's made for a lot better results when I crack open the shots in Apple Aperture...

Thanks for the feedback.
