Re: Show Your Snaps...December 5, 2022

I had a miserable shooting day yesterday. I went down to the city park where they have a Christmas tree set up inside of a white gazebo.

It was cold and wet and a gloomy gray day. No matter how I tried, I couldn't get the lighting right. The white of the gazebo kept reflecting back and turning people's faces pasty white. If I tried to use negative expossure compensation, it blew out the highlights of the surrounding neighborhood.

I left the session frustrated and cold.
