Re: Exposure techniques

The proper answer, of course, is “it depends.” Pentax dslr metering is too hot to my taste, so in general walking around use I set -1/3 exp comp and go from there. My preferred setup for candid work is Av, with one dial controlling aperture and the other exp comp, so the baseline -1/3 gets me

Re: Exposure techniques

Most of the time eyeballing the histogram to make sure it's not climbing the walls on either end is good enough, even with the *ist-D. In difficult metering situations I'll pull out a hand-held incident meter & include a old Macbeth ColorChecker in the first frame of the lighting setup.

Re: Exposure techniques

Being an old curmudgeon, if I want the most accuracy with the fewest frames shot, and if light and action are not rapidly changing, I fall back to manual exposure and an incident light meter.  That pretty much overcomes the problem with blown highlights and/or over saturated color channels.

Re: Exposure techniques

I have a three stage strategy, depending on how quickly a scene is likely to vanish (e.g., a street scene just happens, no time to think…) or how quickly the light is changing. Stage 1a: let the camera do the work. It does quite well in most situations. 1b: depending on lighting

Re: Exposure techniques

It depends on the scene The K-1 meter does fine on neutral or dark frames. With an abundance of white, such as white sky dominating the frame, I’ll dial in -1 to -1.5 stops of exposure comp. As you say, dynamic range is good enough that one doesn’t have to nail the exposure, and correcting it

I’m curious how people go about setting and checking exposure. My early pentax DSLRs were really bad at metering, so I just got in the habit of always checking the histogram. Blownout highlights really annoy me. I also ran into an interesting metering issue with flowers and other saturated
