ants in your bra is not cool
This is my 8x8 array of leds and buttons. The LEDs are 2 color LEDs (which give a third color if you switch them on together) and as you can see, there were some errors in the matrix :)
Center weighted vs. Matrix metering. Test shots done with Pentax K-1, SMC FA* 28-70mm F2.8 AL. I had Chrome Cast show my Irfan View slide show on a SONY TV screen, from which I recorded the test charts in a drak room. ISO 6400, Tv mode - 1/30s, using Center Weighted as well as Multi Segment metering. The result? It seems to me that Multi Segment metering to some extend does what the photographer would have done by using exposure compensation. Multi Segment meterings always stops down further, except when there's a lot of white, it opens a bit further up, like the photographer would for a back lit subject. I believe Multi Segment metering is no garantee for well exposed images, but it is useable when ever you are in a hurry and must rely on beeing able to correct errors in post.

I can't believe how much these images look like those ugly machine tentacles in the Matrix. In reality they are nothing other than the twisted legs of a mini bendy-tripod things very close up.
Because there was no way to get the tripod to stand upside down, I eventually resorted to physically placing it on the lens (actually the protective UV filter) surface and photographing it vertically pointing towards the ceiling lights, hence the nice shiny reflections.
