Flash: using swivel, bounce, and diffusion.Flash: fill light in bright conditions, putting light in the eyes.

Flash: metering for foreground/subject vs metering for background.Focusing: AF/manual, using AF focus points, focus with narrow DOF.Freeze blur motion: use speed + ISO in Tv mode to freezeblur motion.Depth of field: maximizing DOF (long exposure), mention diffraction.Depth of field: figure DOF needed for individual, pair, group shots.Depth of field: use aperture + ISO in Av mode for deep & narrow DOF.

Dynamic range: shoot scenes with less, equal, greater than camera DR.

Shoot to the right: find high DR scene, meter and shoot for brights.

Histogram: RGB histogram, avoid blown highlights in single channels.

Histogram: chimp/reshoot to get perfect blacks, whites and grays.

Metering: use EC AvSpot to correctly expose black whitegray cards.

White balance: auto versus custom, use of white/gray cards.

Camera Modes: shoot in different modes: P, then Av, then M.

Recommended settings: RAW, separate FL EL, lowest good ISO, PAv/M.

Camera settings: exercise - shoot JPG vs RAW of same scene.

Camera settings: sharpening, saturation, contrast, etc.

Camera settings: Av, Tv, P, M, ISO, AF MF, RAWJPG, MP, FL, EL, EC.

Conclusion is that very high dynamic range makes single-shot photography hard to impossible.

High dynamic range: See and shoot in low, good, and high dynamic range conditions and evaluate the results.

Low light: What's a sufficiently fast shutter to stop motion blur, wide aperture to get exposure, high ISO to compensate - and what are the results in terms of noise?.

Do this with Av M and with EvaluativeSpot, respectively.

Learn about and practice using exposure compensation.

Do this using evaluative and spot metering respectively.

Successively meter on, & shoot scene with, white, gray, black cards.
