The Question is, what is proper exposure? As I said in my rant to Brian,
that's different for digital than even slide film, if you define it as
capturing the whole desired range of brightness.

Is the background underexposed? That depends. First, it's where I want
it, otherwise it pulls the eye from the subject. Second, it's relatively

background in shade.
