lets say theres people in the foreground, then if i focus on the sky, wouldn't the people be out of focus?Zaknafein said:yes, use spot/center metering, and point at the sky first, then AE lock
merge in photoshop right?SnapSnap said:What I do is that I normally take two photos, one exposed for the sky and one for the scene and then merge them later... Hope this helps.
Yes that is what I meant... If you think that is too difficult, then you may want to consider using a gradual ND filter...bent said:merge in photoshop right?
sorry, i never merge b4 so i don't know how...
SnapSnap said:The photos were exposed for the scene, not for the sky... If you had exposed for the sky the scene would be under exposed. Some will advise you to use some filter that are darker on top... (Sorry, I forgot what they call it...) What I do is that I normally take two photos, one exposed for the sky and one for the scene and then merge them later... Hope this helps.
yes it would be out of focus if ur AE-lock button is also ur AF-lock/Shutter-release button.bent said:lets say theres people in the foreground, then if i focus on the sky, wouldn't the people be out of focus?
Actually, taking sunset will be easier... just do a fill in flash lor...Zaknafein said:actually, i tihnk if u are taking sunset, most probably the human would be seen as silhouette. wouldn't be able to see whether they are focused.
but if u really want it to be focus... then i think if u set a very small aperture, and focus at a subject distance IN-BETWEEN the background and human, then AE + AF lock, u might get both focused....
anyone got other solutions?
Zaknafein said:flash does not help to focus on the humans lol
ahhh! i've just thought of a solution.bent said:lets say theres people in the foreground, then if i focus on the sky, wouldn't the people be out of focus?
