SLR Lens Tip: How to Avoid Your Photo Being a Dark Silhouette
- Snow or the sea will always give you a bright background even if you don’t think it will - your eyes will compensate.
- Another way to compensate if to use a fill flash to properly expose both the background and the foreground object.
- Many newer digital slr camera do this automatically in full auto mode, others require some set up such as setting the digital slr camera to forced flash.
- Look around for a better shooting angle to start with so the sun isn’t behind your subject. Try to find an angle where the sun is behind / to the side of the photographer.
- That way the subjects will be illuminated but not squinting looking into the sun.
Use a digital slr camera that allows you to press the shutter button halfway without taking the picture - try it. - If you can do this, that’s the point where the camera has set the exposure in most full auto mode digital slr camera.
- When the subject (person?) comes out too dark, the digital slr camera has looked at the light background and set the exposure to capture that, instead of your subject.
- Move in close to your subject so that the digital slr camera can’t see the light background (light background not visible in the viewfinder).
- If you can’t or don’t want to go close to your subject - point the digital slr camera at the ground IN THE SHADE.
- Press the shutter button halfway AND HOLD IT THERE.
- Keep the shutter button half pressed - now move back and frame the picture how you want it to be.
- Now press the shutter button all the way and take the picture.
- Your subject will be correctly exposed. The bright background will almost certainly be over exposed - you can’t have it both ways!
