Hey nice one Kevin, u took it in potrait view is it? And yeah that pillar really overglows

Well I'm not too familar yet but have you maybe try using spot metering? Dunno will it help or not....

But if you spot meter, wouldn't that under expose rest of the image?

Well, I guess the best would be try to avoid the monument. Or take it in the evening when they have not yet to switch on the lights or in the early morning....

2 solutions I can think of


1) take the photo when there isn't so much difference in the lighting.... hence you'll have to take it earlier in the evening.

2) take 2 photos, 2 metered for the monument, the other metered for the whole scene. Later you'll have to join them together in PS. Some people call this technique the digital ND filter.

Thanks guys. Well, Rueyloon, your option 2 sound very the Deep. Will try out when I master Photoshop.
