Having extremely light and dark objects in frame is always challenging. Especially when they are white and dark green and when these are the colours of a flower and it's leaves...
You want the detail in both the flower and the leaves. But here's what happens if you don't pay attention.
Shooting a 1/400, f/2.8 this is what I got.
The leaves are perfect but the flower got overexposed. This is exactly what happens when you leave the camera at evaluative metering.
Since I had the RAW, I toned it down a bit. This is what it looks like @ -1 EV
The flower is perfectly exposed here.
The flower being the subject this is an acceptable picture. But really, the leaves could use a little more light. Fill in flash won't work because it's the background that's under exposed and not the foreground. Anyone got any ideas around this?
