What this does in certain circumstances is make your whites not bright enough and your blacks not dark enough. Have you taken a picture in the snow and the result was really flat? If you added positive EV, the whites would probably appear closer to what your eye is seeing. Have you taken a picture of people in a low lit room and it seems too bright? If you added negative EV, the dark areas and shadows would probably appear closer to what your eye is seeing. Bottom line is you should us EV to make the exposure closer to what you see. As you use this technique it will become second nature. This is a pretty basic explanation but hopefully helps you get started.</p></blockquote><p></p>
