Many cameras call this exposure compensation. This is necessary because all cameras assume they are looking at 18% grey. If you are shooting something darker the camera will overcompensate by over-exposing. Telling the camera to under-expose should balance this tendency.<BR/><BR/>Look at your scene. Is it over-all darker than 18% grey? Under-expose. Is it brighter than 18% grey, over-expose.Coyotebdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08509083931128526136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504742686650223041.post-80226148621748989392007-11-06T20:43:00.000-06:002007-11-06T20:43:00.000-06:00It sounds like everyone is having problems with fa...It sounds like everyone is having problems with faulty maps. :) It's contagious.Der Alte Fritzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578422757511400566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504742686650223041.post-56571843801594116492007-11-06T19:44:00.000-06:002007-11-06T19:44:00.000-06:00For Der Alte, et al,A lady and her maid apparently...For Der Alte, et al,<BR/><BR/>A lady and her maid apparently escorted by an eye-patched and scar-faced officer of the Gallian Royal des Carabiniers were in the village on the Gallian right flank. I've been imagining what they must have seen and heard.<BR/><BR/>1. They could not see over the rise of ground to their front.<BR/><BR/>2. The first horrible volley of the HS Army must have been deafening. Casualties were visible from their vantage point in the village perhaps resembling similar carnage in the linear battle scenes in The Patriot.<BR/><BR/>3. Units surged forward over the rise out of sight to reappear later. Others replaced them.<BR/><BR/>4. The entire cavalry force trotted up the rise, disappeared and crashed into several units of the HS Army in the beyond.<BR/><BR/>5. Remnants returned from the deadly rise of ground.<BR/><BR/>6. Cavalry forces rallied back to reform to deliver counter thrusts that were not needed.<BR/><BR/>7. One funny thing. The town on my side of the map was placed wrongly. It was supposed to be on the Gallian left flank. Poor maps!<BR/><BR/>---------<BR/>I thoroughly enjoyed the cavalry activity in which I was embroiled all afternoon.<BR/>----<BR/>Votre Serviteur,<BR/>BillGalliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12258909398832285314noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6504742686650223041.post-87098526032534542372007-11-06T19:33:00.000-06:002007-11-06T19:33:00.000-06:00Der Alte,The right flank command of the Gallian Ar...Der Alte,<BR/>The right flank command of the Gallian Army at Dithersdorf wishes to compliment the Hesse-Seewaldt Army there for a stout and stubborn defense. A credit to the Army and its commander! Fun too.<BR/>Votre Serviteur,<BR/>BillGalliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12258909398832285314noreply@blogger.com
