請問??????e??點影﹖

尋日於黃昏時分係西灣河個?????影相，攪左好耐都無張合格。好難暴光﹖到底應該以乜為測光標準﹖
天 ﹣船 ﹣海個光暗分布係：天好光（無雲淺藍），船好黑（墨綠同深啡），海深墨綠（但係好多光點閃閃下），天無陽光都死架啦，Ｄ野flat o既，我又唔想影剪影。

結果我用船做中央重點測光，咁個天就白晒，一Ｄ藍都無，我係天度搵隻深藍色做測光點就天好靚，出左個漸變藍，但係天以下就乜都黑晒。個海同Ｄ船差唔多灰度，不過好多浪反光。

於是我落漸變灰，係白光底下就好覺，應該有三級，但係加左又唔多覺，又好限制構圖，因為Ｄ船又高低大細，唔係好貼條中線。

咁我又，測船，測天，羅中位數（其實我唔係好記得點計），但係都係一pat pat，唔多以樣。

我唔想係ps大改，起碼曝光正常至算，ps只係綿上添花，唔係正路。

To get a good photo your need :
1. Right exposure (as you asked here)
2. Right time
3. Right place

Item 2 and 3 include item 1(exposure)
It is therefore first
find a right time and place
then
use your exposure, composition technique and accessory such as Gradual Neurtal Density filter.

To answer your question :
Shot it from top of a hill, water surface, or other place.
Shot it right BEFORE sun rise or within an hour AFTER sun set.
These time the contrast would be less and easier to take better photos.

If it still not getting better, the scene is not a photo opportunity.
If this job must be done use Photoshop level / blending / merging.

Can a photographer shot at a grey wall and produce a gorgeous photo ?

An example :
The following shot is impossible if I take it an hour later.

Happy shooting !

I absolutely agree with tam_dominic

Many photographers would tell you that the secret behind a good photograph is....
"F/8 and be there"

So finding that right place and that right time could be one of the most important skills in photography that one can possess, this is especially true in landscape photography in which mother nature takes control.
