This really was a bad day for light, a very bright overcast, hazy & then an all black Catalina!
Any ideas on getting a better exposure are more than welcome!

Exposure Mode = auto exposure (0)

You need a large ration of luck when shooting a black cat on a snowbank with that mode. And Tv & Av are auto modes, too. Look at Post #47 in Need an exposure crutch?

Exposure comp. Or, better yet, manual plus giving it a boost for anything backlit. You have to learn how much to comp from experience. Black on white is a ****.
