Greg,

since you shoot so many pictures I was wondering if sometimes you could do a decomposition of how you took a shot, what settings you used and why.

My Canon S2 IS has lots of features that I am kinda able to use but full manual control still scares me (even after 2000 pictures) and the time it takes to compose in manual is annoying; especially when you get something wrong (too dark/light, focus issues, etc).
If you could post about how/why you control ISO, aperture, timings and how those interact that would be awesome :)

Or point me to a book if it would take too much time.

Cheers,
E/.
