Question 2

1/60 at f/1.8 ISO 100  WB: 4000

1/60 at f/1.8 ISO 100  WB: 2300

Question 3

1/12 at f/1.8 ISO 500  EC: 0

1/30 at f/1.8 ISO 320  EC: -1

1/9 at f/1.8 ISO 1600  EC: +1

I prefer the third photo that had and EC +1.  The colours seem more vibrant and crisp.

1/900 at f/1.8 ISO 20  EC: 0

1/4528 at f/1.8 ISO 20  EC: -1

1/292 at f/1.8 ISO 20  EC: +1

I prefer the first photo that had and EC 0.  This photo seemed the most true to what I saw with my own eyes.

Question 4

1/60 at f/4 ISO 200  EC: 0

1/90 at f/4 ISO 200  EC: -0.5

1/45 at f/4 ISO 200  EC: +0.5

In the above photos, the third (0.5+) is my favourite.  It is brighter and looks clearer than the previous two.

1/1500 at f/4 ISO 200  EC: 0

1/2000 at f/4 ISO 200  EC: -0.5

1/1000 at f/4 ISO 200  EC: +0.5

In the above photos, the first (0+) is my favourite.  It seems to keep the greens better and the trees yellow leaves nicer.
