Kudos to Charles Scheffold who gave an answer that was both simple and correct: &#8220;The background behind the gull (water) was darker than the sky \u2013 that\u2019s the reason for the exposure difference as framed.&#8221;  Elinor Osborn was the only other photographer who gave a reasonable (though wordy) answer to my question, which boiled down to this: &#8220;Why did that 2 1\/3 stops off the light grey sky work out to 1 2\/3 stops as framed?&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>It is no coincidence that both Charles and Elinor have attended multiple BIRDS AS ART <a href=\"http:\/\/www.birdsasart.com\/include-pages\/ipt-updates\/\">IPTs<\/a> (Instructional Photo-Tours)&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>I will begin here by suggesting that everyone who is not 100% confident about working in Manual mode click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.birdsasart-blog.com\/baa\/2011\/04\/27\/working-in-manual-mode\/\">here<\/a> for the free excerpt adapted from &#8220;The Art of Bird Photography II (<a href=\"https:\/\/store.birdsasart.com\/shop\/item.aspx?itemid=19\">ABP II<\/a>: 916 pages on CD only). Read it.  Bookmark it. And return often to study it until you understand the principles and are comfortable working in Manual mode. <\/p>\n<p>I will continue by addressing many of the misconceptions gleaned from the comments on Monday&#8217;s post. <\/p>\n<h2>The Starting Point<\/h2>\n<p>In many situations, I use the sky as a starting point for my exposure calculations.  Why?  I always try to meter off something large and of consistent tonality as a starting point.  The sky&#8211;I usually meter about 30 degrees up from the horizon&#8211;often works quite well.  When the sky is not of uniform tonality I will look for a large cloud and work off that.  At times I will meter off the sand and at times I will meter off the water.  Anything that is large and of consistent tonality will work.  <\/p>\n<h2>Where to Next?<\/h2>\n<p>Once you have chosen a starting point, how do you know how much light to add (or in rare instances, to subtract)?  If you are experienced and have studied exposure theory on pages 58-63 (and especially the diagram on page 62) in the original <a href=\"https:\/\/store.birdsasart.com\/shop\/item.aspx?itemid=16\" rel=\"nofollow\">&#8220;The Art of Bird Photography<\/a>&#8221; and fully understand the material covered in the Exposure Simplified section of &#8220;The Art of Bird Photography II (<a href=\"https:\/\/store.birdsasart.com\/shop\/item.aspx?itemid=19\">ABP II<\/a>: 916 pages on CD only), you will generally have a good idea as to whether you need to add 3 full stops of light or to subtract 1 stop of light or be somewhere in between.<\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s the rub: even if you have not mastered the materials and the principles referred to above you can still get it right in the field as long as the light is consistent for a few minutes and the subject remains available. Let&#8217;s say you meter a light grey sky 30 degrees above the horizon and null the meter so that your aperture and exposure settings yield an exposure that matches the exposure suggested by your camera&#8217;s evaluative or matrix metering pattern. The indicator that moves up and down on the analog scale in your viewfinder should fall on the 0 mark. Next, point your lens at the subject and make an image.  Take a look at the histogram. If there is not any data in the rightmost histogram box or two, you can try adding one full stop of light to the exposure that you have set. In bird photography this is usually done by choosing a slower shutter speed but it can also be done by choosing a wider aperture or a higher ISO.  Now make another image.  You will need to keep adding light <strong><em>until you have data at least halfway into the rightmost histogram box<\/em><\/strong>. This will give you a workable RAW file with the WHITEs showing RGB values in the 225-235 range. Just what you want. <\/p>\n<p>If you meter off a large area of consistent tonality and make an image with those settings that includes the subject and you find that there are large areas that show flashing highlights, it indicates that you have severely over-exposed the image.  The data will be pegged to the wall on the right side of the histogram.  In this case, you will need to subtract light by choosing a faster shutter speed, a smaller aperture, or a lower ISO.  Keep adjusting your exposure until you have data that protrudes only halfway into the rightmost histogram box. <\/p>\n<p>In both cases, you will be learning as you go. <\/p>\n<h2>Understanding &#8220;As framed&#8221;<\/h2>\n<p>In both of the situations above the indicator on the analog scale that you see in the viewfinder will almost always fall on a different value when you are metering off your large, consistently toned area and compensating than it will when you include the subject in the frame.  In the original post I wrote that I added 2 1\/3 stops of light to the meter reading off the light grey sky and that when I framed the gull image that the indicator showed just 1 2\/3 stops of over-exposure.  The 2 1\/3 stops off the sky was 2\/3 of a stop brighter than the gull image &#8220;as framed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>A Further Explanation <\/h2>\n<p>If you meter a large area of consistent tonality and set that exposure manually (with or without any compensation) do understand that as you point your lens anywhere else that the indicator on the analog scale will move up and down to indicate the current level or over- or under-exposure.  Your goal is to learn to calculate and set the correct exposure for the subject manually so that you do not have to worry about how different backgrounds or even about how a different composition or a pose will affect the metering (as it would if you were in Av or Tv mode).  <\/p>\n<h2>Why 2 1\/3 stops brighter than the sky? <\/h2>\n<p>Why did I choose to add 2 1\/3 stops to the meter reading off the light grey sky?  Because experience taught me that doing so would yield an image of the gull with the WHITE tones in the RAW file coming into Photoshop with RGB values between 225 and 235.  On some cloudy days adding only 2 stops to the meter reading off the sky might be perfect.  On other days, you might need to go as high as +2 2\/3 stops or even more when working in dense fog. You <strong><em>must<\/em><\/strong> learn to work in Manual mode with all black and white birds otherwise the meter will be unduly influenced by large changing areas of black and white and your exposures will be all over the place.  And most of those places will be places where do you not want to be&#8230;.<\/p>\n<h2>Confused?<\/h2>\n<p>If you are confused by anything above, please feel free to leave a comment.

It includes everything that I know about the 1D X AF system.  Instructions on how to use all AF-related buttons, dials, and wheels and my settings for all AF-related Menu Items.  But for iTR AF, the 1D X has the same great autofocus system that was introduced with the 5D Mark III. Only better and on steroids. <\/p>\n<p>Of special interest to bird photographers will be my comments and strategies involving Cases 1-6, the custom-Case that I created and use for most of my bird photography (with detailed instructions for setting it up of course), my strategy for Select AF area selection mode (on AF4, the fourth purple menu), and pretty much anything that has to do with 1D X autofocus&#8230;.  <\/p>\n<p>This eBook is written in my customary easy-to-read, easy-to-understand, easy-to-follow style.  Few realize the time and effort that goes into creating a guide of only 7,000 words.  Do note, however, that writing how-to requires a huge amount of study, writing, re-writing, and fact checking in order to come up with something that is clear and concise.  As is usual, I needed lots of help on this guide and as usual, I got it from my friend Rudy Winston, Canon Advisor, Technical Information. Rudy\u2019s knowledge of the various Canon digital camera bodies is encyclopedic and is exceeded only by his helpfulness and generosity. <\/p>\n<p>To order your copy now, click <a href=\"https:\/\/store.birdsasart.com\/shop\/item.aspx?itemid=356\">here<\/a>, call Jim at 863-692-0906, or send a check for $25 to us at BIRDS AS ART, PO Box 7245, Indian Lake Estates, FL, 33855.
