[QUOTE="KWJams, post: 80435, member: 1926"] Last weekend I took some family pictures at my sons weding and was disappointed in how under exposed a few turned out. Was able to figure out that I should have changed the metering mode to spot or center weighted instead of matrix. Here is two shots. The one on the left I think must have metered off my daughter in laws white blouse. I was able to fix it in camera with D-lighting but it would have been nice to have been able to know in advance that if only I paid more attention to the reflective materials in the frame I could have made an adjustment before taking the shot.
