thank you so much everybody for your concern
here some samples:
No 1, No 2 and No 3 were taken as RAW, imported into Lightroom ver1, exported as JPEG without any editing, reduced in size to 30% in Photoshop:
no 1:
Exposure Time: 1/4000 Aperture: f/5.0 ISO Equiv.: 1600 ( obviously had wrongly set ISO )
Metering Mode: center weight Exposure: aperture priority (semi-auto)
No 2:
Exposure Time: 0.0025 s (1/400)
ISO Equiv.: 200 Exposure Bias: 1.70
Whitebalance: Auto Metering Mode: center weight
Exposure: aperture priority (semi-auto) Exposure Mode: Manual
No 3:
Exposure Time: 0.0020 s (1/500)
ISO Equiv.: 200 Exposure Bias: 1.70
Whitebalance: Auto Metering Mode: center weight
Exposure: aperture priority (semi-auto) Exposure Mode: Manual
note:
on this first day of shooting the metering really was set on 'centre weight' as Ivan had thought.
that it says: exposure mode: manual in photo 2 and 3 I guess must be because they were shot with the M42 lens Takumar 35mm f3.5. On those 2 an exposure bias of +1.7 was dialed in which I had learned was necessary for measuring correctly with M42 lenses.
all the other photos were taken with the Tamron 18-200mm 3.5-6.3 XR DII
No 4, No 5 and No 6 were taken as JEPGs 6M ***, but even though also imported in LR vers 1 first and exported as JPEG without any editing, reduced in size to 30% in Photoshop:
No 4:
Focal Length: 18.0mm (35mm equivalent: 27mm...
Exposure Time: 0.017 s (1/60) Aperture: f/6.3
ISO Equiv.: 800 Whitebalance: Auto
Metering Mode: matrix Exposure: aperture priority (semi-auto)
No 5:
No 5:
Exposure Time: 0.020 s (1/50) Aperture: f/6.3
ISO Equiv.: 1600 Whitebalance: Auto
Metering Mode: matrix Exposure: aperture priority (semi-auto)
No 6:
Focal Length: 28.0mm (35mm equivalent: 42mm...
Exposure Time: 0.0010 s (1/1000) Aperture: f/6.3
ISO Equiv.: 200 Whitebalance: Auto
Metering Mode: matrix Exposure: aperture priority (semi-auto)
note:
some 2 or three photos I which were heavily overexposed I had deleted.
my personal sum up, resp. hope that my camera is not faulty:
no:1 don't get it.
no 2 and no 3: well, bias about +1.5 is recommended resp. necessary for M42 lenses, I guess I shall try with less the next time.
no 4 and no 5: was it just the very difficult light situation in the woods?
no: did the reflection on the car fool the camera a bit?
( but the sun was not very strong, a bit of overcast sky when shooting all the samples )
since there are also some which came out quite alright, please check the very first 14 photos you can see on my flickr page linked below ( the earlier photos were taken with the Konica Minolta A2 )
and at last, forgive me posting these 'bad' photos...
thank's a lot for any input,
cheers,
Andreas
