blotched sunrise

dehuis · 11th May 2003

tried to take sunrise at sentosa but 2 problems
1) cannot see from where i am

2) no skill!

can anyone pls advise me on where to meter and wat metering to use to get the right exposure.
the pic in my mind and in my eyes was a whole more more beautiful in terms of color than this one that eventually turned out
used aperture priority of 5.6 (i think)
and the cam set shutter speed of 15s (i'm sure)
and i metered on the middle of teh pic just above the trees on teh bright part with center weighted and heres how it turned out.
iso 200 film.
pls advise on how i should take such shots. thks

Perhaps showing a larger version would be better, maybe a link to imagestation?
