You can do white subjects quite well with center-weight or matrix metering using exposure compensation. For this one: http://photography2.skofteland.net:8080/albums/birds/gr_egret_IMG_1996.jpg I used "matrix" metering on an area of reeds without the bird, recomposed and shot. for this one: http://photography2.skofteland.net:8080/albums/birds/gr_egret_IMG_2019.jpg it was so quick all I could do was use matrix metering and dial in a little negative exposure compensation since I figured the bird would blow out with the "regular" value. -- Christian http://photography.skofteland.net -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
