Are you troubled with high contrast metering...???


at field we find many difficulties in taking a good photograph.. one of the most faced problem is metering problems in high contrast.. that is when you take a photograph of an object in bright background you will miss either foreground or background..
for example if you are taking a photo of an bird in very bright sky you will miss either sky or bird..
there are many solution for this.. most easy methods from my experiences are
1) taking photograph in morning and evening.. this will provide you low contrast..
2) providing sufficient light to object.. this will help you to bring object to high brightness and in camera you can reduce the EV and take good photograph..
3)mixing the two photographs metered at foreground and background.. simply take the 1st photograph metered to object.. adjust the EV to object.. without changing the frame take the second photograph metered to background.. paste these photographs to a photoshop window erase the unnecessary parts carefully.. this is very simple..
try these tips ... i got these from my experiences..
