COMMON PROBLEMS aNd hOw tO haNdLEthEM...1)LaCk OfdEtaiLSA minimalist approach is allwelland good, but alone jaron a dark backgroundlooks abit boring,evenwith azombie inside.Add details andpropstoyoursetto make the image more interesting,and encourage theviewer to explore the image.``````2)NO BaCkLightNo backlight means no glow orhigh-contrast silhouettes, and smokelooks dull andbarelyvisible. So, shoot directly in frontofawindow ormove yourlight source a little behind the sceneto lightup allofthat spookysmoke. Much better!``````3)OvERExPOSuREThe jarscan be alot lighterthanthe rest ofthe scene, so it’s easy to overexpose.ReduceISO oruse a smalleraperture, and check the histogram.Ifnecessary, underexpose slightly, as shadows aremore easily recovered in processing than highlights.Nove mber2016Digital slr Photography 45
