That makes it sound as though your problem is a fairly simple case of overexposure. If you're using auto exposure settings, it may be that your lens can't stop down enough to get the exposure right, in which case using a lower ISO setting should help. (I believe someone suggested you turn the ISO setting up, but that's wrong. You want to tell the camera to make the sensor less light-sensitive, and you do that by using a lower ISO setting.) Also, make sure you use center-weighted metering; that's the usual way to avoid blown highlights in a backlit scene (which a sunrise or sunset is, by definition). As a last resort, you could add a neutral-density filter. If you're using any auto mode you're simply lucky if you get it right. Manual exposure is the way to go. BTW, I don't believe I've ever photographed a sunrise, but it figures to be more difficult to get right than a sunset. That's because sunsets get dimmer and redder, so the extra shots you take have a good chance of being usable and may even be better. But if you let the right moment get away with a sunrise, you may as well pack up and come back tomorrow. Or go back to bed! -- john mcwilliams |
