Yup, some of them are very odd.

My SOP, especially in challenging lighting is trust but verify. The 3III has a 
lot of metering modes, and I think that I just don’t know how to make the best 
of them. Unfortunately in situations like last night, I simply didn’t have the 
time to understand WTF the camera was trying to do, and changing my angle could 
dramatically affect the exposure. 

I posted elselist the link to my photos with the K-1, but for the sake of flow:
https://www.flickr.com/photos/ellarsee/albums/72177720307763152

It had little trouble, especially bracketing -2 and 0 stops.

As you might know, I like to do the odd night shot, mostly industrial
scenes. As a matter of fact, I've never relied on any camera's metering
under those conditions.

K3-III metering

2023-04-24 Thread Larry Colen
The K-3 III metering seems to fall down “when things go pear shaped at night”.  
I had issues when I was photographing them clearing the fallen trees and 
powerlines a few weeks back, and last night someone set fire to a car in the 
parking lot at the new office in Riverside.  I grabbed the 3-III and it was 
exposing for the darkest areas of the image, multi second exposures, so I just 
exchanged for my K-1, which I can make work.  

I might need to use P mode for night time shots instead. It also probably 
didn’t help that it had the 18-270 rather than the 16-50 so it was much slower.

I know that the 3III can get  great shots in adverse conditions, I just haven’t 
had a chance to learn it well enough to do so.  It does seem to behave very 
differently from all of my other cameras.

I’ll try to post images from last night’s excitement soon, I just haven’t had a 
chance to do much processing.

A floating dock... well... it floats. It can be submerged partially to
let the vessel drive in and then raised again to lift the vessel out of
the water.

A dry dock is a basin with a gate that can be pumped dry once the vessel
is inside. Like a lock with a gate at one end only.

Am I making sense?
