To me it's very interesting that both people who would like to stilck to "12 stops is enough" never deliver a picture to confirm this limitation.


I doubt you could measure a birds eye with spot metering. Especially if it's in flight. It's quite easy to measure a static subject. And as I haven't seen any dynamic subjects of both of you, i just read that "bad exposure" theory with kind of a big smile.

 

Fine with me . I don't have an example at the ready of a very bright dynamic background and dark subject. However, it is surely easy enough to play with the exposure in situations like that. I certainly have done so when shooting gliders (planes) in a bright sky in the past.

 

As to me not sharing a lot: I can't, not often anyway, for privacy reasons.

 

Kind regards, Wim
