Hi all,
Ive taken delivery of my new Canon 40D and I must say, Im impressed..
Its a lovely camera! - I had a couple of problem regarding RAW files but that was user error and no fault of the camera... But I did come across one thing I wanted to ask you guys about...
I was trying to take a picture of an archway which is part of the entrance to a church, the arch had lovely inscriptions inside to commemorate the guys in the war. The problem occurred when I took the shot and realised that the sky in the shot was flashing black - this I understand as being over exposed, but what is the camera expecting me to do? At a guess, Id say knock it down a couple of stops or fitting a polariser on the camera but if I was to do that the inscriptions would not be visable in the shot...
Is this going to be a case of 'Thats the problem with digital' or can I do something in camera to cure/act on this problem..
Thanks in advance,
CK
