Brian,
Are you shooting using ESP metering? I have found that ESP (or Nik*n's
Matrix) metering often gets fooled when you have large areas of white or
highlights in the photo. It seems to be fine for a lot of stuff, but for
some things I am not sure what the camera is thinking. I usually shoot
landscapes using spot meter or averaging. Maybe it is all of the years
shooting slides, but I have a better chance of nailing the exposure on
an averaging meter with some override than I do with the matrix meter.
