I am shooting in manual mode, ISO auto, because I want a fixed aperture and very little variation in shutter speeds.
However, with evaluative metering, while most pictures turn out well, some are suddenly much darker.
While that's not much of a problem with pictures of birds with a background, it does become a problem with just sky background. That turns near purple and darkens the bird itself quite a lot.
I am an amateur, so I'm trying to learn what to do in this situation. I don't know enough about image processing yet to not fuck up changing lighting on the bird itself, always getting much less sharper images than I think should be the case.
Pic sort of an example, but I've at least learned how to take sharper pictures in the first place since that was taken.
