I learned from John Shaw in a long ago film workshop to close down 1 stop from sunny 16 for bright white.
Since your custom WHITE sunny 16 exposure is f8 1/2000 @ 400 ISO, do you close down only a third stop for white because as you have said many times “the meter is smart in bright sun” ?
Therefore, would the exposure for the Snowy Egret be at f8 (-1/3 stop) rather than f10 (minus 1 stop) ?
This is the opposite from the black grackle where opening up was the correct exposure

Many thanks for all the quizzes.

Whites are white, regardless of how big or small they are in the frame. You’ve already metered to protect the whites of the GBH. The only thing that’d change is the reading on the exposure meter.
