@Danno Thank you.

I am trying a few things to see what works for me. I changed a couple settings, so I wasn't fluctuating so wildly. I had highlights under better control today. Which metering mode are you using?

I tend to use a single point metering because that gives me the best exposure around the bird, but now that I have cleared out so much of the brush around the perimeter I think I will have to experiment with a matrix metering.

I also use this approach at the church where there is a lot of lighting variation the single point works most for me because I do not want to lose the person under the bright light.

I took a series of these types of images at the Golden Gate bridge a while back. I didn't have time to really set-up and think about what I was doing. (I also didn't know as much as I do now-note low shutter speed.. oops) However, I got a few images that I really liked. I don't often point my lens at people, but everybody there was having a great time.

I really liked the way this man was posing with the bridge.
