Don’t Let Backlighting Spoil Your Photograph!

Although shooting into the sun or a window with the sunlight shining in
should be avoided, you are sometimes forced to take your picture under these
conditions. If your not careful the light coming in from a window can fool
your light meter. When taking a shot, say for example a portrait of a person
with a window behind them, do a light meter reading with the meter pointed
directly on the person. Get within a few feet to do the reading if you have to.
After you have your correct meter reading and your aperture, and shutter
speed settings are set, you can return to the disired location and take your
picture.
