Hmm. I guess I'm using the wrong exposure mode, but I always seem to get severely blown highlights when I try to shoot them. The last time I tried, I set exposure compensation at -1 and /still/ managed to get some blown highlights.

I may have had it set to spot metering.

No secret here. I shoot RAW with the K-5 in multi-point exposure mode. I think 
I had it set to +0.3 exposure comp, then some minor tweaking in conversion.

After hundreds of daffodil pics, tried for a bit of a different look here. Had 
the DA* 60-250 mounted, so I used it. f11, IS) 400, 1/250th, 250 mm.

Paul, I don't know how you do it.

I have the hardest time trying to get a decent exposure on yellow daffodils.

What's the big secret?
