  ...I basically said I think the real solution is to take such a picture when the light is different or it is a in different relationship to the sun so that you don't have to labor in the post-production environment to save it.
  This insight derives from my work as a filmmaker. We try to avoid shooting exteriors with the camera looking toward the bright part of the sun and shooting in harsh, high contrast, mid-day light.

    I asked in my original post if i was simply trying to do something that couldn't be done given the light situation. I was hoping that the software built in to digital cameras might proveide some kind of workaround that i wasn't aware of or that there might be another solution. Joes suggestion of a graduated neutral density filter seems a sensible solution and one which enables me to use the camera in difficult situations.

      ...of course that's fine, but if it's relatively easy to wait or reposition such a thing as a car for a situation better suited to a photograph, then I'd say that's the avenue of least resistance.

        Paul didn't have access to a dozen Gaffers & grips to hold scrims and 5k's.
        Yes, I held an I.A.T.S.E. Stagehand union card.
        When you can't sit around all day playing cards waiting for that perfect angle. You have to find the right tools, agree?

        ...I'm a documentary filmmaker and we don't use the kind of large crews you're talking about.

        Why all the apparent resentment at the suggestion of adjusting the shooting strategy? It's completely obvious that if it's a situation where you CAN'T control the light then you have to deal with it in "post."
        But the photo in question was one that could have been handled in a number of different ways; at least it appears so on the surface. A photo where that sort of control is not possible is another matter.
        As my initial foray into this forum has been rather unpleasant, I think I'll go away now...

        I reviewed the original post and there was nothing there suggesting that an alternate shooting setup wasn't practical.
        
        Don't go away we need people like you here...it creates stimulating discussions, i agree with you, but you & I have diff - Joe M 07:31:20 03/26/06 (0)

        markets in which to appy our trades. Than the majority of shooters here. Thus my simpler answers.
