Ray of Hope

Another great sunset picture. The main focus of this picture was the reflection of the sunlight falling on the water. One of the core issues in photography is when you have contrasting bright and dark locations when a snap is taken. Using a SLR it can be tricky to obtain the correct aperture and f stop when taking a picture of both dark and light regions. One solution is to focus on the lighter section , click the button and move the camera to the darker region and take a picture or vice versa. This trick enables camera lock on one section of the subject, and use this setting for the other parts of the subject. Of course this method has to be used with care.

simply stated: when you have subjects of contrasts in your viewfinder, use the light meter of your camera to identify the correct settings for the extremely dark and extremely bright sections and just take a mean of those settings to get the right measurements of exposures and fstop
