Does anyone really know? How about aiming at the bright stuff and just going with that reading? Seems more right on to me even opening UP a stop from your high reading? Ah to have a manual setting with something resembling a spot meter so one is not doing a physic awareness thing on a microchip! Placing, by opening up a stop, from my high bright tone readings... is how I do it. I end up having to take less pictures and enjoy them MORE, And I think it beats out guessing the Matrix* every time, gives me that Leicalike feeling that it's my picture I made. Not a lucky guess crapshoot, shell game I lucked out on, "We take pictures the old fashioned way. We EARN them, So the picture... CAME OUT!???! I like to say when they ask "did the picture come out?" I say not it didn't come out I TOOK IT OUT, after I PUT IT IN there in the first place, or the compact card, then I TOOK it and printed it, making sure it didn't escape. (like how darkrooms stop the dark form leaking out, or "Lightrooms" stop the light from leaking out, Its like throwing out garbage there's no "out", Delusions of grandeur, but I get much more of that warm and fuzzy feeling when not out guessing the photo finishing gremlins and when I'm sleeping they take the film OUT of the camera do their magical bits, Mark Rabiner Photography Portland Oregon http://rabinergroup.com/ *Spoon boy: Do not try and bend the spoon. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth. Neo: What truth? Spoon boy: There is no spoon. Neo: There is no spoon? Spoon boy: Then you'll see, that it is not the spoon that bends, it is only yourself.
