Getting Digital Exposure Right

March 4, 2004 | Mark Goldstein | Technique | Comment |

Peter Marshall over at the About.com Photography website has written an interesting article about digital exposure and how to ensure that you get it right.

“The most common fault shown in digital pictures is burnt out highlights, often seen as skies devoid of detail, just clear white, or sometimes even with areas of false colour. You also don’t need to look far to find pictures lacking in shadow detail, with empty black areas where there should be subject.

Contrast is a related problem, and many digital pictures are far too bright and contrasty, while others show a bright sky with everything else looking dull and dark. “
