It's time to start to shoot in manual mode. And instead RAW i now shoot in jpg but with an exposure line (3 pics 0+-).
Another thing for me is to pay more attention to the white balance. But I think that costs more time.

Nicely done on your first manual shots! For me it depends on the shot. Where I am on a Tri-pod and its a landscape shot I will in most cases shoot manual. Keep them coming. JIM
