Since he's using manual shooting mode (M-mode). The metering mode doesn't do anything other than telling you that you over- or underexpose in your screen, right? It does't change anything to the exposure, the exposure is a set value for both shots. If it was an auto- or semi-auto shootingmode, the metering mode would be of relevance. At least this is how I understand it.


I don't really understand what was going on here. Since the shots were only 20 sec apart, even shooting from the shadowside shouldn't be making such a difference I think? Perhaps the sun was blocked by a cloud or something during the darker shot? Add a different shooting angle and it might solve the mystery? I cannot think of something else...
