Living in the Pacific Northwest like I do, I’m usually shooting under overcast conditions. The white background in the elk shot is a very familiar “look” to me…living here, sometimes I forget that the sky’s supposed to be blue! When I’m hiking with my camera it’s usually early in the morning before the sun has even come over the mountains. I often see elk and sometimes bears, so I set my camera to aperture priority and set the evaluative metering to +1 to +1-2/3 stops…it used to surprise me how much extra exposure was needed to properly expose big animals. I expose to the right as you’ve suggested (even more so now that I have a 7D), and always check my histogram when I get a chance. Sometimes the action happens so fast that you can’t do it until after the fact though. Right now the elk are in rut so I’ve been getting lots of tantalizing fleeting glimpses of bucks but no shots yet this season.

Always enjoy your posts, Artie and I’ve learned a lot from you, so thanks big time!

Peggy

The bear looks great. The fall foliage adds to the scene.
