Michael, i usually use the spot meter in cases like this, reading directly off of the subject's face.

Even using +1/2 and evaluative metering, it was a persistent problem. The lighting was contrasty, mainly my subjects in shade with sunlit backgrounds or in shadowy sunlight. My feeling is the metering is over emphasizing the background and highlights. I think the solutions are use AF point linked partial metering with the bright backgrounds and use fill-in flash in the shadowy sunlight. Any thoughts? I don't think exposure compensation is the answer because some pictures are exposed okay, especially in even lighting. Thanks.
