first, a single exposure of anything is taking too many risks. anything important gets six exposures so that i have six nearly identical originals to send out if i need to sent originals out. second, what i think is best exposure when i take the picture may not be what i think is best exposure when i look at the images later. third, i have yet to find a time when i take a shot where the meter has been fooled too much. if there is that much contrast, there isn't a shot worth taking for me. i can't sell it.
