You're welcome. Sure, for example, you can take an exposure reading for the sky, and one for the barn, and then choose something in the middle. That's essentially what the camera might be doing in auto mode. What happens there is you don't get good exposure for either the barn or the sky, but you can see both somewhat. It all depends on what you want. If you have a nice sunset, I would expose for the sky. If the barn is your focus, I would adjust exposure towards the shadows more.
