I’m having a bit of trouble with certain airline liverys when the sun is shining strong.The sun is at my back when shooting so it’s not a back lit problem,i think it might be to do with over exposure?.Here’s an example of what i mean:
With my old camera i used the “A” mode & set the “F” number myself,F8 was the highest setting,i use a D50 now & i’m not sure how to set the “F” number myself though :confused: ,
Any help is very much appreciated.

Thank’s all for the links/tips for settings,hopefully i’ll get some good weather to try them out 😀
Gary it’s also quite backlit so the best thing to do is to get the same angle but on the other side of the aircraft.

Gary,
At this link you can download a full version of the D50 manual http://www.8080.net/download/330956290.pdf
Your picture seems a bit overexposed indeed, but this can be corrected in post-processing. I’ve included a quick-and-dirty example.

I think yo dont have the look you are after is because the fuselage is in shade !
to shoot in aperture priority select A then use the command dial to set the desired f number & the camera will automatically select the shutter speed .
set it to S and you set the shutter speed via the command dialand the camera sets the aperture.
in M manual you select both the ss and aperture , in this mode the command dial works the ss and to set the aperture you press and hold the exposure compensation button and use the command dial.
there is an overview of functions here;

To set aperture and shutter speed to your own requirements you set each of these with the camera in the appropriate mode – A and S respectively – and then switch to M (manual) mode. In this way you can set the camera to over- or under-expose as far as you want. Personally I would go for an F-stop of F11 or even F16 for added sharpness.

The manual i have isn’t the full version 🙁 (for some reason),it doesn’t go into much detail regarding the different modes.It’s more of a quick start guide really.

The image ooks a tad overexposed at the nose and a bit dark on the side – shame because the engines are lit up very nicely.
Regarding the D50 setting, isn’t it as you said above. It is for me.

Can you elaborate on what the problem is exactly? I don’t see many overexposed areas in that photo, perhaps a bit on the nose of the aircraft.
As for how to set the F-number on the D50, have you looked in the manual yet? :rolleyes:
