Ok - this one is the WB setting of AWB (auto) and the one I posted is the ISO of 1600 - it was the best one.

I wont bother posting the ones I took of the bulb lighting and the sunshine - since those were obviously the wrong choices. I did them just to see. The sunshine one wasnt terrible though at 1600 ISO.

I know they are hard to see here, but from my computer it looks like the WB setting of the cloud in front of the sun at an ISO of 800 was the best one.

Im sure those settings have some technical name, but I am quite appreciative of your descriptions..."cloud in front of the sun" is something I understand.

I am getting some gray at the temples, so it is time to color. Perhaps Miss Clairol blonde would look good on me.

At some point I wouldn't mind learning the correct names as well. For now though - I dont mind looking silly here if I can learn something. I know everyone reading this is laughing at me - I dont care! So there -

What I am wondering about is photographing my art. So far (without knowing about the ISO) I hadnt been using the ones I took outside because of glare. I had been using the same P setting with the WB set at the lightbulb - since I was taking them inside. This is something I really need to learn asap as my photos of my paintings are way off.

Are you noticing your shutter speed as you do this? You only want enough to do the job. If you are using a tripod you aren't proving much (stationary camera, stationary subject). But if it's hand held you can see what the minimum SS would be for you to hold steady.

Yes Mike - I was noticing the shutter speed. I did these hand-held and of course my movement could be a problem as well. It is hard to determine what speed is going to look the best once I get the photos to the computer. I guess that would come with time and experience?
