Throw in the need to see Mrs. P and Penny and you're out of luck.<BR/><BR/>Snow is another pain in the behind thing. Camera light meters are calibrated with 18% grey as being ideal. Think Bill Clinton's hair when he was first elected. So, left to its own devices, the meter will set the camera to turn white snow grey and dark colours muddy. P&S cameras very rarely have much in the way of exposure compensation, but if it does, get out there and experiment. :-)Gordohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07601738885232775770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7289593577239899244.post-6025523283847111232008-11-18T12:24:00.000-05:002008-11-18T12:24:00.000-05:00Oooh love that banner the rug is so fun!

If so, do you have control over the apertures or not? If you do, you could underexpose this shot by one F stop (e.g., F8 instead of F5.6). That would allow for the colours of the sky to show better but your very tolerant wife would be a mere shadow/silhouette instead of having some dimension to her. If it's a point-and-shoot that you denies you control over the apertures, then you can't do much about this lighting situation. You see, your camera looks at the overall scene and realizes the sky is brighter than the light on your person/dog/main subject. Therefore, it overexposes the background to compensate and give more light to them.<BR/><BR/>Wow! What a totally long-winded way of saying that capturing the sunrise was probably beyond your control! :o)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
