Manual + Auto-ISO with compenstaion?
With my Nikon D5500 I didn't consider EC was useful when discussions went to use EC. Very recently I discovered that I can use EC, Exposure Compensation., with my OM-D E-M5 iii. Menu->Button Functions->+/--> select Exposure +/- (usually the default). Next scroll down to Dial Function->scroll down to M/B select front dial to +/-. Now when auto-ISO it will adjust the ISO within the Auto ISO settings. Other camera Olympus/OM System bodies may have different Menus. Other manufactures mirrorless bodies may have similar functionality.

Lightroom Classic sync
Those who are using Lightroom and want to watch a video that discussing sync by Terry White I think it is helpful. I use LrC and use sync so I can see, edit on any device.

What settings did you use?
Someone asks: “What settings did you use?” BUT… what do you really need to know to understand why those settings were used? Use the comments to answer; Can you reproduce the photograph? Why or why not?

@Sanna Eriksson Additionally what camera was used and it's capabilities. When a Nikon Z50 asked my the settings for lighttrails and I use a Oly Live-composite they of no use for them.
Goodhart's Law
How does Goodhart's Law apply to photo evaluation? There’s a well-known concept in economics and management called "Goodhart’s Law": "When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure." When a metrics are the main goal, people start optimizing for the number/rule instead of the actual goal—and the overall quality suffers. Think about how we evaluate photographs. Drop your thoughts and examples in the comments below.
