Holy shit that last one is epic...how did you get the lights to blur, but the car to be sharp yet see through?
Here's mine for the day:

Snow is white and reflects a lot of light, so your 18% grey camera metering will darken the scene severely.does snow or heavily white backgrounds always mess up like that? well i shouldnt say mess up if thats what you were going for, but i mean do nearly all white scenes come out looking a little off grey?
The camera engineer in Japan is only following the standards that were set by the pioneers in photography. You obviously have no idea about photography, but just like to snap shots. Do you even know what medium grey is? Or dynamic range? What about the relationship between ASA and ISO? The difference between 12 bit and 14 bit raw? Or how a histogram works? How to set white balance using levels and curves?There might be the right exposure for you.
As for me, I refuse to allow a camera engineer in Japan to deciede how my images should look.
Solberg, how could you possibly get negative rep for that bird photo? That is excellent! I'd +rep you if I could, but the stupid forum won't let me.

That looks exactly like I got it after messing with levels in PS. Kudos to Photopaint.The car is within the central depth of field and a long shutter speed was used.

Here's what it looks like after using auto-balance in Corel PhotoPaint:

There is no such thing as the right exposure. For that to happen, the contrast range of your camera and the contrast range of the scene should match completely (where in reality, the camera lacks significantly), and the medium grey you set should be at exactly 18% (which is impossible to determine with the naked eye). If you want your photograph to represent what you saw and wanted to capture as closely as possible, you HAVE to post process it.
