Over exposure in digital photography



Over exposures are a bit more difficult to deal with digital camera, compared to its film counterparts. For some reasons, with digital sensors the area of over exposure is more pronounced, occurs often when least expecting it. I noticed when I first picked up my K10D. Then K-7 came out, and there I noticed a quite bit of improvement. Here, at the very center of the picture, there is an area where the details of the polka dots are being sort of obscured due to reflection of sun light. The thing is that when you try to cater to that particular area, you lose details of the other area. With K-7, this is much much easier to deal with. People typically run into this kind of problems when shooting a subject who is wearing a white shirt under bright sun light, perhaps against a white background. My advice is to not make it so challenging for yourself . . . . .
