| HI there all, new to this site and also new to using my Cannon 30D. Having incredible problems with under/over exposure and was wondering whether anybody can tell me how to get round it  I mainly take outdoor shots and the last lot I took of e.g. my kids on a sunny day in a lovely park area all are focused in the centre but the rest of the image is over or under exposed or 1/2 & 1/2. Guessing it doesn't help taking the picture standing in the sunny area into the shade and vice versa but any work arounds would be highly appreciated. Cheers  |

RE: Newbie with Cannon 30D
heya
try setting your exposure down / higher shutter speed so that the overexposed background is correctly exposed then use a flash to make your kids brighter - i always carry my flash with me as even if you can shoot with your subjects looking towards the sun - they will have a hard time keeping their eyes looking normal :)
PS http://strobist.blogspot.com/ is a great resource for budget lighting that looks amazing
Hope that helps
Jared
