Backlit Subjects


By adjusting your exposure, you force the camera to overexpose the highlights (backlit area) but properly expose your subject... the important portion of the picture anyways.


This would be a good example of trying to take a picture with a strong backlight.




By adjusting the Exposure value... we have fixed the problem of the dark subject.

The first picture was taken with a 1/500 sec exposure (very fast) .
This picture was taken with a 1/30 sec exposure. So 16 X the exposure.




Now you can crop out the overexposed portion of the picture... and your subject looks pretty good!
