So yesterday was scorching and the big bright light was very big and bright. I was practicing with some portraiture and some street style pictures at my nephews youth clubs fete (with permission). So part indoor, part outdoor and trying to keep a wide aperture to give me some dof.
Outdoor, Shooting manual, iso 100, shutter around 1/2000 at f4. Total blow out. My display was showing more over exposure highlights than there was screen space....I ended up with f16 and it was still 50% over exposed area. So against my will to shoot manual I changed to aperture priority.
I ended up at f11 upwards, shot dependant and up to -1 EV and still had overexposed images.
Kit: Nikon D60, Nikon 18 to 55 F4-5.6 / Sigma 17 to 55 f 2.8
So what was I doing wrong or was it the wrong environment for the type of image I was after.
Not sure if this would be relevant but I wasn’t using the lens hood...
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
P.s. obviously I can’t share the images because of the restrictions given within the authority to shoot...
