[QUOTE="Eye-level, post: 152078, member: 6548"] I will try to expand your knowledge just a wee bit more but maybe she already taught you this... :) Go find a black on black background subject and meter it and then shoot...you will be surprised! hahaha This will show you how the meter can be fooled. What happens is the camera will overexpose everything attempting to make the scene middle grey. The solution is to underexpose the shot. Meters are great tools but just like everything else in this photography business they are convoluted too! Something very similar happens with white on white too. [/QUOTE]
