An old entry, a bird under trees ... I chose it partly for the spot of light highlighting the beak area.

When I try dappled light I always end up blowing the light or losing the detail. How best to handle such a high-contrast subject? (I don't have a light meter, btw)


Shoot in RAW, restore highlights, hope for the best.


*Blush* I keep forgetting that I CAN now! (My example was with my S2 IS)
I haven't been, because of only having 1gig cards and they fill up awfully fast, but I just bought a 4gig so I'm good to go :D

Any other tricks/suggestions/things I need to learn reallllllly fast?

Can this be considered as dappled light or there has to be many light streams ?

It's a fairly new concept to me so i m curious

I don't like to be pedantic, but it should be 'its' not 'it's'!

I would bet your absolutely driven to the edge when you see "your" instead of "you're". I don't think there are more than 5 people on the Internet who know the difference. I feel you're pain.

testing how many see it? .

My wife would be good at this challenge since she never pays any attention to things like that when taking a picture lol. She was doing some senior pics for a friends daughter and the place she had her standing had tons of shadows across her face. She was surprised how much better the photo was when I held a reflector up and blocked it more.

It's supposed to be rainy and cloudy here all weekend. Hopefully it will be sunny on Monday so I can get some shots for this challenge.

Does it necessarily have to be SUN light??? Think outside the box.....

This is a scan of my daughters, taken about 20 years ago. I think it conveys the effect of dappled light to suit this challenge:



Hope that helps explain:)

A description of "dappled light". In essence, the leaves of trees form temporary tiny "pinhole cameras" that project the image of the sun on a subject or object.
