EXPOSURE
When an assignment for a celebrity shoot was
postponed due to rain, I decided to pick up my
son from school in the '68 Ford Galaxy I had
planned to use as a prop. Once parked, my boy
sat behind the steering wheel and pretended
to drive. An opportunity not to be passed up,
I grabbed my camera. The natural light on his
face was beautiful but the sky was way over-
exposed with no definition in the highlights.
This was easily solved with the help of the B+W
Soft Grad filter, that cut down the exposure on
the windshield by 2 stops, allowing me to clearly
capture the raindrops on it.
I always carry an assortment of B+W in my
equipment bag, especially Polarizers and NDs.
They are top quality and not only are they
useful in architecture/landscape photography
but for lifestyle shoots as well.http://www.schneideroptics.comShot by:Ralf Strathmann
