Exposure Compensation question
Yes. Nikons after the D70 all seem to over expose to some degree in Aperture Mode. But that was due to people complaing the D70 under exp[osed.Fiesta! wrote: I see. Well that sums up that up! One question when you say your camera runs "hot" in aperture priority mode, are you talking about over exposed a little?
Thanks Joves!

Yeah go figure! I actually thing the best camera they had for exposure in Aperture was the D50. 
Joves wrote: No two totally different things. EC is a compensation mode for the cameras given values in a particualr mode. For example with my D300 in really bright light when in Aperutre Mode I find it shoots too hot, so I minus that using the EC to adjust. An ND filter actually stops down the light by a given set of stops depending on the filter strength. You use the ND to blur motion or bring the shutter speed down or to shoot very bright subjects I.E. sunsets/rises wit the sun in them and having shillouettes. You use a Graduated ND to expose both the sunrise/set and the foreground and have detail, or you use it to compensate for very dark halves of subjects where the onter side is bright.
ah, I see now. Thanks Joves.
