FreddyGdiP Posted June 30, 2020 Share #1 Posted June 30, 2020 Advertisement (gone after registration) I use the snapshot mode quite a bit for everyday photos. Some time ago, the pictures I made started coming out with the naturally darker areas a LOT more dark than usual. In the example photo I attached you can see how, in a sunny day, the wall in the house is black. This is happening in every picture I take. Has anybody experience this or has advice on how to correct it? Thanks in advance! Welcome, dear visitor!

jaapv Posted June 30, 2020 Share #2 Posted June 30, 2020 Yes. get out of snapshot mode, start shooting raw and lift the shadows in postprocessing. I would say that this image is exposed properly. If the camera would have saved the shadow detail, the white wall on the right would have been a huge blown highlight. Even on a small internet jpg, a simple shadow pull corrects the problem. The only thing I did was pull the shadows slider to the right. Notice the vastly improved detail in the trees. Basically this image needs only a small amount of postprocessing to become really nice.

You have reached the stage, as a photographer, when you are ready to take greater control of the process. Much has been written about the transition and there are videos on line. Try to be selective in those you watch. In parallel, invest time in learning how to get the best out of post-processing. More homework for you, but it will be rewarding and you will become a better photographer. I endorse Jaap's advice regarding capture in RAW format, but only after you have become familiar with post-processing. The two elements work together. You have the big advantage of having recognised that there are limits to how far you can rely on total camera automation. Enjoy the journey towards greater control of the processes. Enjoy! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
