Here is the scenario:
Its class photo time (nursery school). The only place to take the photo is in front of a window. Due to space limitations, the window is on the right 1/3 of the frame. It is daytime.
The children are seated, some are standing. A teacher is to the left. Another teacher to the right and has the window behind her.
Question. What would you do?
1) Expose so that the contents of the window are seen (assume enough internal lighting for proper indoor exposure)
2) Overexpose the window contents so the teacher has a "white" background
I don't want to post the photo for obvious reasons. I hope my description is enough.
Thanks,
Paul |

| I would concentrate on getting a proper exposure on the people (consider using a fill-flash?) and blowing out the window, unless there's something specific in the window you actually want as a background. |

Yeah. I agree. My initial thought was it was a bad exposure. But after looking at it, it made sense.
HOWEVER...one really should only do that with a GOOD QUALITY lens, and not one that is subject to CA. Luckily, I see very minimal CA.
Hmm...took a close look...nice purple fringes...

| If the window causes you too many exposure headaches, could it be an option to cover it up with children's artwork? |
