OK, with the latest talk of picture taking and such, I took a recent piece downstairs to the photo tent and thought I would take a series of photos with slightly different settings for everyone to compare. Granted these have been reduced in quality but maybe we can learn from this experiment.
All taken with same double CFL light set up (R&L), in tent, #39 gradient background, NO POST PROGRAM ADJUSTMENTS (except reduce size)

Shutter = 1/4 --------------------------------Shutter = 1/5
ISO = 100----------------------------------- ISO = 100
F-Stop = f8 ----------------------------------F-Stop = f8
Metering = Pattern ---------------------------Metering = Pattern
Exposure Comp 0 -----------------------------Exposure Comp 0
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Shutter = .77 -------------------------------Shutter = 1/2
ISO = 100 ----------------------------------ISO = 100
F-Stop = f14.1 ------------------------------F-Stop = f14.1
Metering = Pattern --------------------------Metering = Pattern
Exposure Comp 0 ----------------------------Exposure Comp 0
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have been shooting with f22, 1/4 sec ISO200, so these are different settings for me.
My eye is favoring the last two. I like the improved contrast of the last one, but it may be a bit dark.
What does everyone else think?
