The summer beach season is upon us.
Did you ever wonder why your pictures at the beach come out dark?
No details in the shadows?
Faces too dark?
The reason is that your automatic meter overcompensates for the bright sand and underexposes the image. Most automatic cameras have an exposure override function. Simply going to +1/2 to +1 may give you images with details in the shadows.
