Today I went to take some practice shoots of one of the areas I go rock climbing at. Well I was finding that when I took pictures that included both the rock and the sky, the rock was overly bright and the brightness across the picture was not even. Here are examples of some of the pictures I took that exhibit this problem:
Not all pictures exhibit this problem. SOME do actually come out right. However 90%o f the pictures that show the sky and the rock in the same pictures come out like those above. I am using a Canon 40D on the "sports mode" setting with the stock 28 - 135mm lenses and a UV filter. I started to use a polarizer but the pictures were too dark so I took it off. If I set the camera to the "M" mode to choose my own aperture and shutter speeds so I could reduce the shutter time the picture came out too dark. I could not find a happy medium. As soon as the picture was bright enough the "uneven light distribution" problem started to show up:
1/500 shutter and 5.6 aperture:
1/250 shutter speed with 5.6 aperture:
1/160 shutter speed with 5.6 aperture:
1/125 shutter speed with 5.6 aperture:
