[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 397405, member: 6277"] I used to explain it to new camera owners when I would sell them a camera. It you took the world and put it in a blender the final color would be 18% grey. So you have to look at your scene and determine if that is what it would average out to. Pick the metering mode. Spot, center weighted or average (full scene) most of the time I use center weighted and it works pretty good. I know that on some scenes I will need to change the mode or compensate by using the over/under exposure. a quick peek at the first shot in a series lets me know if it is all working or not. After shooting for a few years this is all quite easy. It is just a matter of thinking about the shot before you shoot. [/QUOTE]
