be aware tho that shooting to the right is only a good idea for those shooting raw - in jpeg its awfully easy to blow the highlights and lost highlight detail is gone for good - whereas dark images can be lightened up in photoshop.
That said it is best to get the exposure right - all this shoot to the left , shoot to the right stuff is fine as a rule of thumb but you cant beat getting an exposure bang on - and that requires practice.
