Thanks for the extra information on this Chris and Bill. I didn't know about the 75% rule and will try it next time I photograph someone indoors. I also have to paint those walls and get rid of a bunch of "stuff". I recently bought a Nikon Coolpix 5400 (last Aug.). Chris or Bill, could you advise me on the camera settings you use with this set up? I started this as a total novice, and now feel a little more competent, but sometimes still get blown out highlights. There is a setting for contrast and saturation level, do you ever change those from auto mode? I finally figured out that I need to set it on aperture priority for outdoor shots to get the best results (at the highest setting). I'm getting a little better at choosing the setting for the best light. Any tips you can throw out?
