I have a question regarding exposure. I could be trying to do something that just can't be done or more likely i'm doing something wrong.The other day i was trying to take a photo of my car for someone. I was standing in very slight dappled shade of a small tree in the mid afternoon. The car is fine but the sky is blown out horribly. A few handy hints wouldn't go amiss.
I got the same result however i set the light metering, centre weighted, average weighted, spot weighted etc.
If i locked the exposure first on the sky and then composed and took the shot i got.
Lovely sky as it should be but the car has dissappeared into the darkness. Surely it should be possible to have the exposure correct..or not? Any links to articles or books worthwhile to but for someone groping their way up from p+s cameras would be much appreciated.
The camera is an Olympus E-500.
Thanks
Paul
