When it's dark, go darker. Since the camera will meter at 18% grey, a really bright scene will automatically be darkened by the camera. So you need to brighten the exposure. And when the scene is dark, the camera will make it lighter...so you need to darken the exposure. You also have the option to change your method of metering. Sometimes matrix metering is way off depending on the scene. Try out center weighted metering and spot metering when you are in high contrast situations to see if one yields more accurate results. You can also take a meter reading of the grass--sometimes that will yield a more accurate exposure.</blockquote>
