Photo Notes

One of the hardest things to get right is the exposure of a driver in the car wearing
the helmet when it is bright sunshine. In this case the way I framed the shot hides the fact
that it is completely overexposed for the ambient light around him, and a white panel on the
car will stay white, no matter how much it's overexposed. The shady background helps, too.
Fill flash is an alternative, but to me those photos look too fake, and I hate strobing drivers
in the eye before they go drive
