Blown skies

Unfortunately not :D


Think I have a vague understanding of spot metering... evaluative meters everything in the frame but spot only meters what is in the small area..

Say for example I used spot metering and metered off the animal only.. would that mean an even more over-exposed sky as its metering off something much darker?

Ill get my head around this eventually.. :nuts:

Yup, that's about it. Go and buy this, especially for a tenner! http://www.amazon.co.uk/Understandi...=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1270329062&sr=8-1
 
hi alex have you tried lightroom you can get a free download from adobe to try, in the develop module you can use the brush tool to paint negative exposure over the sky which will help in some cases but not all

Instead of using filters or post-processing, I usually take a meter reading from the sky and a meter reading from the foreground and try to meet the exposure in the middle (Meter from Sky = f11 @ 1/250s // Meter from foreground = f11 @ 1/15s then I'd use f11 @ 1/60s - 1/125s). The beauty with digital is you can see how the image looks once you've taken it, so just play around.
