The line that caught my eye: your camera is being tricked into metering reflected light which, in bright sunlight, causes it to read the scene incorrectly because of harsh highlights and shadows…
Effectively: Try to override clashing inputs by using a reasonable average setting. Seems like I could (and probably do) apply that in other venues: cooking, music, personnel management, etc.
- hug 4y agoThe sunny 16 (and overcast 8) rule is an easy way to remember what the values are, and it's not really an average: The incident light on a scene on a cloudless day when the sun is directly overhead doesn't change. The average reflectance of the scene changes, but in photography you mostly don't care about the average reflectance, you care about the incident light.
