HI Peter: Sometimes if you zoom in tight with a telephoto lens, excluding
any white backgrounds, you can get a better reading with the spot meter.
Still, that's a tough shot to make. Flash fill can help, or you have to
dial in 2 extra stops of EV. Cheers, Christine

Subject: PESO -- On the lighter side.
Various organizations spend a lot of money to build stands in marsh
environments for Osprey to nest in, this one had other ideas...

Notes: My major peeve about the K20D is it's tendency to seriously
underexpose when photographing almost anything against a bright
background. In this case I dialed in 1 1/3 stops of extra exposure and I
still had to really push to get any detail at all in the bird it's nest
and the field lights.
As usual comments are welcome but may be totally ignored.
