is that a 50mm lens?
thanks for tutorial.
please show all the option on camera to know how to do.
thanks again .
by lightmeter as dtapia said, i think the issue was exposure not the whitebalance. but yeah, kelvin mode is the way to go for white balance correction.
exactly my thoughts
why not use the onboard light meter? not accurate enough? how bout trial and error? 3-4 shots will not be cumbersome. tweaking the camera adjust while doing minor adjustments on the strobe. would'nt you agree?
Good tutorial, thanks.
question here: why not use the "kelvin mode" instead? it's less cumbersome and is very effective.
my best guess would be to use a strobe or a reflector to the subject while metering to the background. but i would certainly would want to hear the opinion of the experts.
How about when your subject is in the shade with a bright sunny background, like leaning against a tree trunk in a meadow or mountaintop? How do you get your subject to pop without blowing out the background?
Primero!
