I disagree. When I'm shooting outdoors the most important thing is to figure out your exposure before you start shooting. It takes about 1 second to do, and then you're good for pretty much any outdoor shooting situation excluding when you move into the shade, etc. If the sun moves in back of your subject, just click your shutter wheel two clicks to the left and you're good again. Or flip the power button on your flash and auto-ETTL that shit...
It's not difficult to nail your exposure in any situation 95% of the time.
I agree with BB. Learning to nail exposure consistently is just the basics. Most photographers can pick this up within 1 year of shooting. Baddog has been shooting for a long time now, and I have seen some fairly consistent exposure issues that could be corrected with some minor attention to these details.
