sunday was the last straw -
i was asked to take pictures of the kids and stuff at my niece's birthday party. it was a really sunny day which is horrible for out door pictures for me but the damn sky was BLUE. BLUE BLUE BLUE. and in every single picture, it was completely burnt out. i've noticed this several times before... and it seems to be happening more and more when i take pictures.
i went hiking with my cousin last week and the same thing happened even when i focused on the damn blue sky. i tried turning my exposure compensation down and yeah, it made the sky more blue, but everything else really dark. i've tried different aperatures and shutters speeds, i just don't get it. the only thing i can think of that i didn't try is: would it have to do with my white balance? i know that fixes color issues.
i think someone mentioned before they found a site that says what to do about this. any ideas?
Exhibit A:
Cute baby, ugly burn out.
Exhibit B:
In person, the sky through the leaves was very blue.
Exhibit C:
So I snap a random shot out my window while I'm driving, not paying attention to exposure or any setting at all for that matter, and the fecking sky is mostly BLUE. I would totally settle for just a tiny little bit of burn out like this.
What's going on???
