Albert uses an OM1 so besides setting a +1 or +2 compensation be careful
about ambient light leaking in through the eyepiece which skews the
reading (especially for eyeglass wearers). Forget about trying to set it
on Auto unless you've had a few too many margaritas while laying around
in the sun watching the sights ...

Albert,
if your main subject is surrounded by very bright
light, you rather need to take *longer* exposure in
order to get better details on the main subject. So
you need to set the ring to +1 (and have another one
at +2 if you can spend the film) on your OM on "Auto".
Hope this helps.
greetings,
Thomas
