Huh? While your exposures will obviously need less stops in the light areas and more stops in the dark areas, that's just basic exposures..... when we talk about exposure compensation it's for a different problem. Don't forget that your camera will try to give you a grey or midtone from whatever it sees in the meter. If I'm out in the snow it will give grey (or blue) snow, so I need about 1.5 stops EXTRA exposure for white snow. If I'm in a coal mine the camera will, on its own, give me an exposure for grey.... if I want black coal I need about 1.5 stops LESS exposure.
