| Auto bracketing and overexposure...
When I shoot the exteriors of the cars I shoot, I use autobracketing. Now I'm sure that comment will bring out many that insist that this technique is improper, amateurish, and whatever, but it sure works for me and my clients so move on to another post if the thought offends you please. I'm gonna keep doing it.
During the shoot, I will shoot a couple of hundred shots. Not real fast, but I'm sure the writing process is going on while I shoot and at while I'm at rest. Once or twice during every shoot it seems, I get a series of 3 shots (which is what I have Autobracket set to) that are very overexposed. 1.5-2.5 stops. Then it starts to expose normally again. Note-this is all of the same subject and the backgrounds are all very similar so I don't believe it is a meter error. Well, of course it is but I hope you understand what I mean. It's not a misevaluation of the scene so much as it is an error of the camera. Since I typically shoot a particular view of the car in this manner, I lose the view (pose) that is overexposed.
Anyone else have this happen?  |
