Well, Rick, I'm pretty good at exposure, but using the meter on the Pentax DSLR took a bit of getting used to, just like it took a while to get used to some other meters - both hand-held and built-in meters. Digi is a different, and the way the Pentax uses the evaluative meter is a mystery (at least to me it is). A few people on the list suggested I not use the matrix meter in the DSLR, but to rely on the spot or CW. Maybe that was their preference, but I've not tried the multi segment yet. Maybe I will today.
Got a link to the pics in question? I was actually commenting to Tim on his suggestion to use the editing software to correct for and adjust exposure errors. I think we've both been around photography long enough to know that good exposure in the camera is the best option.
