OP:

Which lenses do you have?
Have you considered something like the EOS R (yes, full frame)?

50mm 1.8

thst is the only lens that could require 1/8000, but only if shooting at f/1.8 in bright sunlight. And don’t confuse needing faster shutter speed for not having the right direction of light (shooting into the sun)

tamron 17-50

canon 55-250

all crop lenses except the 50mm

But sometimes you do shoot toward the sun. I’ll shoot down a street to frame the beach. Sky blown out.

Sounds like you need to learn more about photography first. If you expose for areas in shadows, bright highlights will be over exposed. So needing 1/8000 over just 1/4000 is an extreme case

There is no other way to grab the shot. Or I’ll shoot down an alley or to get a building on the street

Expose to not blow out the highlights, and lighten the shadows with computer software

Maybe I don’t know much. Here’s a photography question.

If I’m shooting down an alley towards the sky how do I expose for the shadow areas and not the sky?

what do I physically need to do?

thanks
