| Oct 23, 2019 at 11:56 | comment | added | Loren Pechtel | Something to keep in mind here--modern cameras tend to be quite smart about such choices, the main reason to override the computer's choices is because you know something it doesn't. Examples: There's snow everywhere, I had to dial in two stops of correction to get decent shots. I cranked the aperture down all the way because I wanted a starburst around the bright light. My objective is that branch, not the sky behind it. The target was too small for even spot metering, I took my reading off the rest of the plant. | |
