  • Digital peeps - how do you compensate for backlit photos ? Normally for film I'll expose for the shadows and bump up the exposure compensation a stop or two.
    It's easier to blow the highlights on digital though, so should I shoot as normal and let the fancy matrix metering sort it out and bring up the shadows in post ?

  • Yes, this - plus your automatic anti-blow out / shadow-rescue wizardry.

    Or: take a shot, look at it / look at the histogram, adjust exposure, shoot again etc.
