Let say subject is standing at foreground with buildings behind and the sky is bright.. How do i capture the subject face without over exposing the back and under exposing the subject?
Use fill flash, or put yourself between the sun and the person.
and also meter the background first
if you want the sky included, can use the GND filter.Let say subject is standing at foreground with buildings behind and the sky is bright.. How do i capture the subject face without over exposing the back and under exposing the subject?
Then again can take 2 pictures, one of actual shoot and the other of the background and sky in good light and then use a digital software to mix them together.
LOL...so that you can get sky in good, dim light in the background but with a very dark subject in the foreground?
:sticktong
Noob question:
How do you meter the background (or any particular area)?
Is it similar to focusing?
I think he meant taking 2 shots, exposing for the subject for one shot, then the background. That will actually take some time to post process.

How do you do it?
As in, how to expose (meter?) a particular area in the view finder?
Won't it automatically meter the exposure at the center, or around the centre (spot metering and centre weighted)?
What do I do to meter an area that is not at the center of the view-finder?
(Sorry for the Noob question):sweat:
I am using a 450D..
how do i perform a fill flash on this?
shoot what the sun is facing both the subject and background
and your back
