Totally agree on the metering mode. The first shot is balanced for the whole frame and the second is bringing out the shadow highlights. I don't shoot Nikon, but I'd definitely do more test shots with alternate pattern and spot metering modes. Almost looks like HDR bracketed shots...

Man you're not making one IOTA of sense better get some sleep. Oh and BTW, Trump's Lady in blue is Named Kellyann Conway. I see you're a retired environmental scientist maybe that's the reason for your skewed logic.
Give it a rest DUDE, have a great day

He has his ASA selector set incorectly on his camera body for the kind of color film that he has loaded in his camera, which may be expired.

You mean that superfluous dial on the bottom of a Nikon F, right?

They replaced it on later models with a frame to hold the end torn off of a film box.
Still superfluous.

So pretty much somewhere to record the iso of the film that is in the camera then. I guess it could be easy to forget, someone said (it was probably you) something about a film starting and ending with a photo of a christmas tree. Starting christmas one year and then shots to christmas the next year.
Hard to imagine just taking a maximum of 36 photo's in a year, but with film loaded for a year it would be easy to forget the iso.

Yet, the dial showed how serious the Nikon engineers were in doing the entire job as completely and correctly as was within their ability to do; they stopped at nothing! As silly, as frivolous, as it was. On the F, it was like, "The Final Touch", back then! Right?

Just tried it again and you will see. I set shutter at 250 take the shot and the next one might be 0n 1000. the shutter soeed is moving up and down.
Do you have the camera set to bracket photos. Why would I take this guess... well lets just say I have been there done that.

When I posted this didn't realize there was 12+ pages of responses. Kind of feel like when I had my camera set to bracketing and couldn't figure out why the exposure was jumping all over the place. <g>

No, wasn't me.
Actually, the Nikon F had that dial on the bottom because the original Nikon F of 1959 had NO METER. It had a wonderfully bright pentaprism finder, that was later interchangeable with a waist-level finder, the Photomic series of meter finders, and other accessories. So... The dial on the bottom was the only way to know what was in the camera.
The film box idea was clever, but at least you could get the ISO (or exposure index, if pushing or pulling) from the meter setting.
Back in the '80s, I was an AV producer. We used seven or eight different films in our lab, so it was useful to me and my assistants to keep things straight. We didn't want to expose Ektachrome 400, thinking it was Kodalith (ASA/ISO 6!), as we shared the same three cameras.

Wow! ASA 6?! Do you know what the correct pronunciation of the "Photomic" (Meter Housing) is? I never have.
