[QUOTE="Dawg Pics, post: 623554, member: 26505"] [MENTION=13090]Horoscope Fish[/MENTION] [USER=22693]@Blacktop[/USER] I tend to spot meter and try to land it on a mid tone of possible. I was a bit befuddled as to why it was as off as it was on the first couple shots of the car especially considering I had no trouble shooting a backlit fire hydrant. I adjusted exposure a few times, and I thought I was metering off of the yellow on the trunk, which was probably the wrong thing to do. I need to go back and look at it. I played with the settings, so I am not sure what all I did at this point. Usually, if I meter something and get a dark exposure, I will meter again in another spot, make an adjustment, and at least get it close, but this time it was way off. Thanks for jumping in to help me out. I need to play with matrix metering. I think I tend to use spot because I more or less get that. Not that I don't royally screw things up now and then. Matrix is another story. [/QUOTE]
