Over exposed.

[Spin T2S]

This happens alot to my please help.:bowdown:

My setting is:
ISO 200
Shoot in AV 5.0
105mm.

What do I need to adjust to fix this?

wow that is BRIGHT!!! first of all, the guy is wearing all that white and tan colored stuff so it doesnt help the situation at all. second, maybe bump that up higher to 6 or maybe even 7. ive gotten stuck on streets that is so bright and most of the shots come out crappy. as an alterntive, try going out to shoot later in the day when sun isnt so direct but if thats the only time you are free, guess you'll have to play with something else besides the camera;)

Dude...did you accidentally mess with your EV settings? It's at 1.67...that's the problem :)

I did just the opposite the other day...I accidentally changed the setting to like -1.67 and everything turned out dark as night..

Lower the EV!

When there is a pause in my shooting... I double check the exposure and focus. ;)

Thanx Archman I did mess it up. Took out the manual and check how to set it and fixed it.:bowdown:

I managed to do this once too, only I got to -2.00. And it was already dark. Now my eyes stop often to check that EV value. It's funny how it can go so easily, there are 7 functions to adjust with those two wheels and I still don't necessarily remember which one adjusts what setting...

Here is a new version, let me know if you like?

Yep Prob. the E.V. and If its a bright day out try to lower the ISO to 100 or even 80....nice pic! she seems attentive towards you!

Hi Spin, the +1.67 EV was the biggest error in your shot, but there's more.

The exif says you were using pattern mode which is a poor choice for this shot. You've got people standing in sunlight in front of a (dark) shadowed background, so the light meter (in pattern mode) is going to respond to the average of the whole mess. So this shot looks dark to the metering and thus sets the shutter speed slower than it should be.

(Reminds me of that old math joke: If you stick your head in the oven, and your feet in a bucket of ice water, then on the average you'll be comfortable.) :D

Try switching to a center-weighted metering mode for these shots, I think it'll help. If you use more accurate metering you won't need to adjust the EV as much. Remember, it's not what your eyes see but what your light-meter see's that's important here.

And to go a bit further with tobot, don't trust your on camera meter too much. I say this cause we have to remember, as sophisticated as these cameras are, they're still programs that need to be told what to do.

Thanx Tobot and thanx Boss, I always wondered about the metering.

Tthanx again to all the help.

If you got spot metering....mines like 1/32, it helps.
Center weighted is ok...but sometimes it takes to much of
the scene into consideration and over exposes too...:clap:
