i look at the exposure the camera recommends and if i don't like it, i shoot some extra frames. since i always bracket 3 shots anyway on film, i seldom ever compensate more than what i bracket anyway. if you keep fussing with exposure when the camera is almost always right, you are wasting time you could spend on making a better composition or looking for the exact moment.
