Hey Tonytee, nice image! I was just wondering, since you mentioned spot metering, how did you pull off the exposure?

Are you using some kind of zone system, and did you put a specific part of the flower into a zone, or...?

The most I've done with spot metering was to meter against a gray card in ambient lighting conditions to set my exposure. I used to do that with the K1000.

With the Nikon D70 I usually do not achieve acceptable results up close with Matrix and CWA metering systems. I decided that after a lot of trial and error, the Spot Metering was more suited for close-up and even some Macro shots. With this subject, I used Spot Metering, got in as close as I could, got the Stamen in my cross hairs, waited for the red lighted areas in the system to tell me when it was properly focused and metered and then went for it. I was a little disappointed with the hot spot caused by the flash and apparently neglected to go in and correct it in PPE. Also, I have to keep in mind that this was a hand held shot and I am impressed with the sharpness of this Nikon AFZoom Nikkor 35~80mm D Lens.

Thanks for your comment.

Tony
