At this event. Can only sit under the shade of the trees on only 2 sides of arena. Arena is brightly lit and the sun is behind every jump. Other than fix in ps after, what can I do? Anything?

Hood And Negative Exposure Comp?

[keanmu]

Thanks. All ready got and doing. Just wondered if there was anything else. xx

Not really I don't think because you'd need a flash or something to balance the backlight... but obviously you can't do that... perhaps just spot meter for the horses and just let the background blow out...? Depends how different the exposure is, if it's not much then neg comp as Steve says and recover in PS.

I'llbe interested to see what other people say though?

The neg exposure compensation is helping alot. They have actually just swapped some of the jumps round so they will be jumping more towards me. Still doesn't help light situation but at 6pm the light is dropping alot.

Active D-lighting to full whack, ISO 400, centre weighted metering. Bit of neg EV and it should work well.
