Ok. So for my next lesson I found out, figured out, that shooting say in snow, I set the ISO at a middle range, maybe 500ish and the darker shots, like at a dark barn to get the color richer, at 100-200. I noticed if I set the ISO at say, 1000 -2000, It really washes everything out pretty much. Am I going in the right directions here ? I'm doing this on manual focus too.

 Always shoot the lowest ISO you can get the shot with, the higher the ISO you go, the more noise you introduce into the image. In daylight snow, there should be very few times that you cant shoot ISO 100.
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!

It is a great camera. I have had mine for close to a year now. Do not expect much out of the 18-55 lens. It is not a very good lens. the 55-250 is a great lens. It compares to my L series lens.

I would suggest you pick up a prime 50 1.8 or 1.4 lens. The "Nifty fifty" is a great lens to shoot with and get familiar with the camera settings.

One last thing to remember the 70D is a crop lens so everything is multiplied by 1.6. i.e. a 18-55 3-5.6 is really 28.8-88mm F4.8-8.96

This is important when fiddling with your light and exposure settings.

This was taken with the 100-400 L lens.

Yes, yes... to Obi-Wan you will  listen ^

Did you watch the video I linked? Iso is the least preferable way to over expose a scene.   Shutter speed is best.   So set a low ISO, next set your depth (aperture), and use shutter speed to correct the light meter when appropriate.  Or if shooting aperture priority is easier,  just do that and dial in about +1 exposure compensation to start.   Salt and pepper to taste.

I have not watched the video Bean, I'll do that today.

I've never monkied around with settings on any cameras I've owned. Just point and shoot, even with my Nikon D60. I see a lot of cool things up here. We'll/I'll be traveling more this year and I wanted to capture it on film. There ain't no stinking film any more.
I couldn't care less about what anybody says..............

Thank you Dick. There sure is a lot to learn. I've had pretty nice cameras, but want to learn more because of guys like you. I never really payed attention to improving the quality of my pictures.
