hi, my technique is very simple actually. i shoot mostly apperture priority except  for milkyway, and some seascape  where i want  the shutter speed around 1/4. iso 100 to max dynamic range and clean image. . i try to play apperture around f8 to f11  to reduce chance of diffraction.  my WB is usually auto. hahahah ..u can adjust WB later. RAW is a must.. im very lucky to have  high dynamic range a7r  where i can minimise gnd usage ... gnd or any other filters may degrade your final result. shoot ETTL and recover shadow later.
most important, free your mind from all technicall stuffs... your end result is picture. not gadgets , not complicated setting. focus MORE on composition. composition is king in landscape. hari2 tgk 500px. art is not science ,  u have to feel it. hoe? by looking at awesome image everyday untill it goes into your heart... get a cheap camera as a start.  of course u will be limited with entry level camera , but i found out i learned max during my a200 days...
when u reach certain level and u have enuff skill and knowledge get the best stuffs money can buy.  high mpx camera is prone to shake. get  very good tripod and head.  i use feisol and rrs tripod.

if  you r interested with my editing style u may have a look at this utube

Bought a Nissin i40 today from JOne Amcorp Mall. Will compare with Meike MK320

Nice... how much izzit from JOne?

Keep in mind though, the i40 will definitely outclass the 320 in terms of sheer power. That said, Direct/Bounce TTL comparisons will be appreciated though - to see if the i40 TTLs better than the 320.

Apparently there should be a meet-up set for tomorrow. But the guy in charge ( asrul ) has gone quiet lol.

If anybody is still up for a meet up, let's schedule something for tomorrow. I say meet up at Coffee Coffea The Curve tomorrow at around 2 (after lunch)? Anybody interested?

domo_kun PP is not editing IMHO, it's like developing film. Editing is when you put Justin Bieber's head on a beaver's body lol.

So, in general, yeah the final photo isn't usually done SOOC (unless you get really lucky and the planets all align) - it usually needs PP to shine.

Usually. Like I said before, there are exceptions to the rule.

philipcs Thanks, that was very helpful, especially from the TTL point of view. Clearly the 4 batteries on the i40 gives it a big advantage.

The size comparison does make the mk320 look small compared to the i40. How is the weight difference?

Are you keeping the Meike? It still makes for a very compact second flash gun that has optical slave capabilities for multi flash setups.

And yeah, tomorrow. I'll be hanging around the Curve to do some work, so do buzz me here if anybody's interested to TT.

So... basically, no photo will be picture perfect until it's being edited la? 

eh sorry i totally forgot and totally busy with this coming month (november).
POTUS is coming and i am indirectly involved in the event 

am not sure 

but this is the chance to see closely how rumah putih photographer works

You mean Rumah Putih's Tog and his A7RII lol.

that depends what are you shooting for.

most JPEGS with in camera processing look fine to me

But for A6000, I don't really like the in camera jpeg white balance under incandescent light and candle light. Time for a flash?
