Hi all,
I have a question that someone may be able to help with. I was taking photos of a section of railroad track recently. The day was sunny, but the tracks were in the trees. Being as it is almost winter, there are no leaves on the trees. This leaves zebra-like stripes of sun and shadow on the tracks.
What is the best way to shoot this? Seems like you either blow out the highlights, or you underexpose the shadows. Is there some kind of happy medium?
Keep in mind, that I'm not trained at all in photography. I'm learning as I go, and I am shooting with a Minolta 5D DSLR. Lens is a Sigma 24-105 f2.8-4.5 traveling lens.
Thanks.
