I have been working in tropic climate for the past few months. I̢۪m having a lot of trouble shooting after 10 in the morning and before 4 in the after noon due to the intense sunlight. But most of my subject matter takes place during these times; does anyone know of any techniques to stop my photo from having such washed out high lights and dark shadows. Perhaps a filter combination or exposure technique, I̢۪m even open to electronic editing techniques
thanks |

Depends massively exactly what your subject is, of course. Some kind of graduated filter can help, even on portraits as most highlights will be higher up your subject.
My immediate reaction would be to try to make a virtue of it, if possible ... look for those graphical elements that work in high contrast situations, strong shapes and odd juxtapositions.

Hey wbb
Where are you shooting at? In less than two months I'm going to be going on an extended trip and will end up being in the Caribbean tropics for probably 2 years. I can't wait...
Anyways, if you're shooting RAW you can play with you exposure compensation, and you can (and probably should) use a polarizer to help in those conditions (it will also limit a bit of light).
