OCA Course: Colour - Control the strength of a colour
Control the strength of a colour: This is a stable door in Germany. It was brand new. I used a Canon EOS 1D Mk111 and a 100-400 zoom to image a section of it, and took the required exposures. It was a nice sunny day.
1. One stop overexposure: The colour and metalwork are a little "washed-out".
2. Half a stop overexposed: Acceptable.
3. Correct exposure as per camera meter. Good detail in metalwork, colour accurate.
4. Half a stop underexposed: The green may be a little more saturated, but looks dull to me.
5. One stop underexposed: Dull and dreary.
Conclusion: The correct reading from the camera meter looks best to me, which just goes to show that modern technology is quite good.
