Red Grouse
Took hundreds of grouse pics yesterday and found flaws in most of them. These included: cluttered backgrounds, grouse not paying attention (lol), over exposed/underexposed grouse, soft grouse (i think due to slowish shutter speed 1/200 sec). Some of these cant be helped and are part of wildlife photography fun.
The light was good and I used spot metering to expose the grouse. At times this worked well but it has been pointed out (by my photography coach and 4th favorite uncle) that on occasions the white feet of grouse can burn out due to over exposure. This was the case in a number of my pictures.
Could anyone tell me whether on shoots like this they would use spot metering or evaluative? I have left my camera on spot metering since i bought it. Any tips would be appreciated...
