 |  |  | Overcast day in the chapel
< on 5/2/2011 11:45 PM >
|  | | | In an old cemetery chapel near me. It was a rainy day. Didn't have much time to set up anything extraordinary, but would like to know what UER thinks all the same.

| | | | Both severly underexposed, 1 has no subject. Get some fill light going in #2 and it would be decent. Also clean up the composition and shoot at a harder aperture/lower iso

| | | | Yes, lower ISO, longer exposure. Try using a piece of black plastic to cover part of your lens in the 2nd shot. Go for a 5-6 sec exposure, and move the card after 3-4 seconds, it may not work the first few (or tens of) times, but it can give a great exposure sometimes.
Blah Blah Blah. Shut up and open the damn door.

Ooooooooh..! That's a good idea!
I'm interpreting it as this:
Your second shot is overexposed in the upper area, and the bottom is underexposed. With a longer exposure your upper area is going to be REALLY overexposed, which is where the black plastic comes in to leave that portion of the shot exposed for a fraction of the total exposure time. Done right, you should end up with a correct exposure top and bottom.
I can definitely see this technique requiring multiple tries. Cool stuff nonetheless.

I've no sense, I lick electric fence; I put barbed wire in my pants and do a Celtic dance.

That makes sense. No need to fix blowouts in post.
