Oh no...! This has become kopitiam thread
if in 'slow' or 'rear', I think the camera meters for the darker background.

A few ways:
- Wait for a better time where the exposure range is not so wide.
- Take multiple shots with exposure bracketing and compose them into HDR photo.
- Use graduated ND filter if the horizon is a straight line.
- Use a camera with high dynamic range.
- Bring a gigantic flash (ok just kidding).

Hi everyone,
Thanks for the advice...
I did try using flash... and the result, the human's lighting is un-natural, eg, too bright....
i am using EX270 flash light of canon. if i direct the flash to the human, the human will be lighted, but too un-natural, but if i direct the flash 90 degree, seems like no effect on the lighting. I am thinking is diffuser useful in this place? where can i get diffuser for 270EX?

regards,
eho

hi there...

wat u cn do is to play around with the
1)flash compensation
2)exposure compensation
3)flash speed(frm menu)
4)optimize image colour(normal,softer,potrait,vivid,more vivid)(from menu)

Halo , Photography is no spoon feed, read or shoot more.

See sample here:-

Aim at subject


Use Fill-Flash for bright background
