When I expose the Hornbill using Sekonic L-308S light meter on my D300s it gives 2 step under expo, where as on D3s it was -1/4 step. I would like to know, which is correct expo as using LM gives above expo on D300s giving details of the bright colors of the bird, enlighten your views on this.

Ashok,
Light meter measures the incident light and is extremely accurate. Camera's meter (matrix) works based on reflected light and several approximations. In images like this which where you have your main interest in the frame covers a very small region with predominantly dark/white domination camera's meter often over/under expose (depending on black/white regions).
Hope this is clear. If you have further doubts please send us a mail - we will be glad to respond. We would like to limit technical discussions here.
