Some will think that I replaced the background in this photo
with solid black, but this background looks the way
the camera recorded it. Have you ever taken a photo in direct
sunlight and all the shadows came out black? If there is a high
degree of contrast (much more light in one area than the other)
the camera is not able to expose both areas correctly. If the well lit area is exposed correctly, the darker area will not
get enough light and will appear black. That is not always a bad
thing, sometimes it can be used to your advantage. In this photo
the petals were up in the light, but the water and
leaves were down in the shadows. (Lotus flower, about a mile
from my condo in Bangkok) |
