Comments welcome,

Just wondering, if +2/3 EC is making shots too bright, is this one bright as
well? Would darkening help?

Thanks,
Dudley

IMO the +2/3EC looks good it this particular shot because the subjects
are back-lit. The high-light around the front of the dog looks good
and might be lost without the +2/3EC.

Thanks, Caesar, for the next shoot (or two), I'll keep backlit shots at
+2/3, and I'll try shooting at normal or +1/3 for side or frontlit shots and
see how that works.

This is where technique can only do so much; there's just no substitute for
a good set of photographer's eyes. Still, I'm hoping to hone my metering
skills a bit to help get it right in most frequently encountered lighting
setups. And, of course, I may have to bracket exposures.

Take Care,
Dudley
