its got the anti-aliasing one removed eric ,sold my polarisers the other week due to lack of use (might have been a silly move) .
one thing puzzles me if your taking a manual reading of the sky it will surely meter for that ,yes/no .
.you will then still need to dial in a positive exposure compensation for when a bird flies through that sky yes/no.
it will STILL be guesswork on how much positive compensation to dial in yes/no
so unless my thought process is entirely wrong its still pure guesswork and i'm back to square one
I suspect the manual suggestion was that you meter off a similarly lit foreground object and fix that exp for the bird. Of course if the bird isn't front lit, like your target object, it still will need exp comp.
I can't believe with all your experience you are doing anything wrong. It must be the cameras response to high key lighting...that's why I question the filtration.
I wonder if changing the cameras contrast or film simulation setting might yield better results?
Coincidentally, I was recently shooting with the D7000 and my Fuji XE up high (3000m) above the snow line. The D7000 struggled to get exposure right with snowy mountain scenes. The Fuji exposures were perfect.
So much so, I have already put on hold the idea of selling the Fuji system and will persevere with its ergonomic and tardiness issues and maybe buy the longer lens....so I don't need to take the D7000 in these situations.
Not sure if that is just a coincidence or this lighting situation is the Achilles heal of the D7000 and D7100?
