Hey guys. So I have this little problem and I hoped you may give me some advices on how to improve and stop making this mistake
My problem is that I tend to overexpose pictures. When I shoot I always take a shot of the scene several times with different setting (f.e. different times - 1/800, 1/1000, 1/1600) so luckily there is always one that is exposed okay and if not, I can correct it in the Photoshop since I shoot in RAW. Though I would like to stop overexposing so much. The problem is, pictures always look darker on the camera than they are on the PC, so when I look at a picture on the camera it looks okay. I tried to keep in mind that camera screen makes things darker and adjust the settings to this, but then the tendence flipped to underexposing..
Do you have any tips, tricks and other stuff that helps you expose correctly? I know it is not THAT much of a deal since most of the times it can be corrected in the post-proccesing, but I would like to learn to expose correctly without Photoshop.
Oh, and I shoot with Canon 7D, 50mm/1.8 II and Sigma 17-7-/2.8-4
