At the landfill the other day I was playing around with center-weighted metering in the aperture priority mode...truer results than with the evaluative metering.Nick Bonomohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07036401219361026741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-966329187699506484.post-67535706290935687702008-12-12T09:44:00.000-05:002008-12-12T09:44:00.000-05:00Funny thing about that, Nick...

My camera (and the Rochester WWTP to test it) will be waiting for me when I get back from California.<BR/><BR/>Another thing to try for the white birds is to try adjusting the metering mode. If you've got a white bird against a dark background, it's likely to overexpose the birds with evaluative metering.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06043320482130495530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-966329187699506484.post-68678204305055768832008-12-11T18:43:00.000-05:002008-12-11T18:43:00.000-05:00Nick, You might want to try Apeture Priority AP.

You can do so much more with a RAW version and have alot of lattitude in your working version with say Apeture, Photoshop software. Hope this is helpful.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>Mardi W.
