Project {M}: happy toes

Tonight I experimented more with Manual.
Please notice the extremely cute nail polish job.  :-)
I found the idea on Pinterest, naturally.

Below is a photo, illustrating my findings.  I played with my settings until I finally got an acceptable photo of my toes.  (This project currently has two rules, no post-shoot editing and no flash)
Then, I switched my camera to my favorite mode, AV (Aperture Priority) to duplicate the shot and see what my camera would use for settings.

I left the aperture the same, Focal length 18mm, Aperture 3.5.
What the camera did was drastically reduce the exposure time and drastically bump up the ISO.
Kind of an interesting experiment.  **Click the photo to view larger.
