Far too often I see and hear about the "exposing for the highlights" mantra, predictably resulting in flat, boring or even underexposed shots. Which of course then requires many (lost) hours fumbling around in photoshop and post-processing. I believe in getting it right in-camera: expose for the subject and I think that's what you do as well, as much as possible. <br /><br />I tend to use fill-in flash a lot in street or reportage photography (which I think you don't do so much, except perhaps for macro work) even in full daylight, and also in shaded environments. Fill-in flash is easy with today's almost perfect automation, but even without automation it's easy - just keep it a stop-and-a-half under the ambient. I like the extra "pop" it gives to the pictures, and the better skin tones it gives me under difficult light. It also prevents harsh shadows in portraits during strong daylight.Andrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13706263884645654930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19035680.post-69918750017063101602014-01-18T10:26:00.031+08:002014-01-18T10:26:00.031+08:00Hey David,

It does not matter really, because I judge my exposure as I see the live preview through the electronic viewfinder, and if it appears underexposed or overexposed (with tricky lighting) I will just dial the exposure compensation dial accordingly.

One thing that ...Hey Robin,<br /><br />Nice shots, as usual.<br /><br />One thing that interests me about your photography is the way you process your black-and-white photos. I think they have a very nice look to them. Have you done any blogs on post-processing? I, for one, would be interested to know how you process your B&W pics.<br /><br />Sorry I haven't posted for a while - I have been in Africa for the past three months and have only just returned to Malaysia (living in Ipoh now).<br /><br />I'm glad to see you're working for Olympus - that must be almost like a dream job for you.<br /><br />Hope all is well.<br />Good cheer,<br />Scottnewzildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02689893260360520234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19035680.post-90208063559098737742014-01-17T19:21:16.372+08:002014-01-17T19:21:16.372+08:00Robin, Great tutorial.
