Hi all,
I am going to do my first bit of photography next weekend in years. I have been looking at some people shots on here, and I was wondering. Do you have a preference regarding background exposure?
I realise that it generally depends on the shot, but do you like overexposed backgrounds, with the subject perfectly exposed, or do you like a darker/correct(?) background? I am planning on using a shallow depth of field in most cases, as I think the background will be quite busy with other people/objects. I am not expecting to get 2nd chances to be able to do both.
I will shoot in manual with FEL. Raw naturally.
I would rather get it right in-camera, rather than use a gimp mask or similar.
The basic question is do you prefer light backgrounds, or darker. Or maybe it's impossible to say until it's taken
