Hi
I have been doing photography as a hobby for a long while now and I have been quite successful with my landscape and nature photos.
I have been trying to have a stab at evening and dark night photos when I can but i have come across something that I would like to ask you lot about.
When I try and take photos in a kind of dark room (restaurant, bar or pub with friends) and when I look at the exposure bar in my viewfinder or the screen it will show as correctly exposured after i have fiddled with the shutter and aperture that I wanted then when I take the photo the image looks like it was taken at midday. I have to put the aperture hole two stops or more smaller to get the correct lighting in my photo. On screen it show exposure as -2 but the picture looks correctly lit.
What is going on and how do I go about resolving it?
