Hi folks,
As this question might be asked before, I hope not to bother anyone.
Here comes my request: last monday, I shot at a climbing competition
with my EOS 5, Speedlite 430 and Sigma 2.8/70-200HSM. I was using
Sensia 400. Almost all pics were quite good - the spotlight on the
climbers sometimes was bright enough to shoot at 1/180s and f2.8.
But one pic was absolutely not what I expected: people in the
foreground were totally overexposed (I guess +2) and the background
(some 5-8m away) was exposed correctly. O.k., I was shooting in P
mode, so I understand that the camera/flash tries to expose the
background correctly. But how can I avoid this the next time? Setting
speed and let the camera select f-stop? When the f-stop in the
viewfinder starts blinking this means that the background will be
underexposed, right? But how can I know how strong it will be
underexposed?
Any help is appreciated,
Marco
