Re: Canon Colors

I like and appreciate the idea, but find it a little creepy to discuss the skin tones of a Disney princess bust.

With that said, how is the light metering impacting this? There seems to be a huge difference in how the scene is captured based on if the shadow on the left is "brought up or not" (A and C are blowing things out). Should all of the cameras be in some sort of "spot mode" or "evaluative mode" so they aren't metering the scene differently? Or maybe that is part of the secret decoder ring: if some of these are camera phones, they might not have the choices for metering?

FWIW: I recognize these exercises are tricky. I also struggle with how to take comparison photos e.g. do you lock down all exposure settings, or do you try to let the camera do its thing? My guess is the likely answer relates to how does one usually shoot? If you are an Av/Tv shooter, try that, and if you are an M shooter, lock it all down.
