correct exposure when shooting landscapes?
I had the hardest time this weekend in Austin shooting the mountain, in terms of exposure. With the sun on the right of me … I could not get a properly exposed sky, water, and all the hills in the same table. It was a little better when I AEL but still not great. Is there a secret to getting the correct exposure when shooting in very bright environment?
Start with the "Sunny Article 16 ". Set your aperture to f16, in full sun, and the shutter speed of the reciprocity of the film speed. For 200 high-speed film, 1 / 200, in other words. Bracket your exposure to one or two stops in each direction. Direction of light is important. At his side can give hard shadows. Side lighting district it is better to show the form but not have too many shadows. So the sun from your face and back. Do not worry about exposure to heaven. Like the earth to be okay. Distant hills or mountains of the mist and see the light blue maybe, but that's normal. A UV or haze filter will help a little with that.
