For white scenes, I do the opposite. <br /><br />These are rules I learnt with my film camera. The idea is that the sensor for the meter is calibrated for a photo that is 18% grey. Apparently someone did a study and found that this matched up with most scenes. <br /><br />Very dark and very bright scenes are very far from 18% grey, so it is necessary to adjust the setting away from what the camera thinks is right.Buckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17834360422359513050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7922309813001173039.post-81927716420932569632009-07-11T10:26:01.137-04:002009-07-11T10:26:01.137-04:00I have the same problem but it's for boats pic...I have the same problem but it's for boats pictures, can you say more detail about this.<br /><br />Marine marchande Webmastermarine marchandehttp://www.marine-marchande.com/v2/photo_navire_du_jour/blog.php3noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7922309813001173039.post-80250239968839799042009-01-05T09:50:00.000-05:002009-01-05T09:50:00.000-05:00Black cats are notoriously difficult to photograph...Black cats are notoriously difficult to photograph: I lived with one for a time and he was a favorite subject of mine.<BR/><BR/>I see you're using a Nikon Coolpix 950: the macro on that is so nice that I still keep it around although we've had two newer cameras (one was a gift) since and the Nikon is slow on start up and the display is impossible to see in bright light. Anyway, I usually put a note that it was the Coolpix I used for particular photos on my blog, so if you search for that word, you'll see some of my work with it. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for coming by my Villigen blog and leaving a comment. Best wishes for the new year to you and yours.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03348318649247181165noreply@blogger.com
