Over exposed exterior
Mar 31, 2017 07:07:59 #
How can I get the correct exposure on this shot using a Nikon D750? This is an interior shot with a snowy, winter exterior beyond the windows. I want to capture the shot with plenty of detail both outside and inside. I have tried experimenting with different combinations of flash, underexposure and playing with ISO, but could use some advice.

Two shots, one exposed for the interior room, the other for the outdoors (window). Then combine both in Photoshop. There are many excellent videos on how to do this. I just saw one from Anthony Morganti earlier this week.

The camera meter is being fooled by the light from the windows, I would bump up the exposure compensation by either 1 or 2 stops. Alternately you could use flash for interior lighting.

Normal flash on camera will give you poor lighting of the inside with bad fall off with distance.
I would use bounced flash on the camera, which will give you a much better illumination of the inside with no noticeable fall off of light. Then you must try to adjust the shutter speed (subject to your minimum for flash) for the outside exposure.
What also will help is to shoot in RAW, which will give you more chance to adjust the exposure limits. You could also take two shots (on a tripod), one exposed for the bounced flash and one for the outside, and combine them in an image editor.

This works but it is not necessary to go to Photoshop. You can balance the indoor/outdoor exposure in one shot.
For a wonderful explanation as well as how-to-do it, see

Try this: Spot meter the window and use a bounce flash or a couple of bounce flashes to fill the room shooting TTL.
Use exposure compensation as stated above and correct the WB in post
You have several options to try and one of them will give you the results you want with a little trial and error.

Beside the two shots solution...
- Select raw.
- Use low ISO to get the maximal DR.
- Use a tripod.
- Change the bulbs to lit the room properly.
(Flash and reflectors will not work too well unless you really know what you are doing.)
- Wait until the the light from the room and outside are just about the same (early morning of late afternoon).
- Select raw.
- Use low ISO to get the maximal DR.
- Use a tripod.
- Change the bulbs to lit the room properly.

So no one here believes in exposure compensation I take it.

There are two ways I would approach this problem. Either add lighting or HDR with at least a 3 shot combination. HDR being the simplest.

Looks like it has been covered .. any camera will struggle with the dynamic range in this situation ... simple .. tripod it ..2 shot one outside and one inside .. combine same .. case closed .. also of course HDR ...

It will work with flash, you have to expose for the outside (bacially shooting an outside image), and then you have to try to get the inside close to that range using your flashes. If you want to even out the exposures without flash you need to shoot this in HDR ( you can recover some shadow detail without, but not that much)! You can of course also do a composite in pp, take one shot exposed for the inside and one of the outside. Then all you have to do, switch out the windows of the two, easy peasy (especially since they are very simple shapes)!!!How can I get the correct exposure on this shot using a Nikon D750?

If the interior is bright enough and there is nothing to view outside the window why not exposure compensation of +1 or +2? If there is a scene you want to preserve outside the window then I agree with HDR.

I think the Dr. means shoot one metering the window/outside. Then t'other metering the interior--pointing to one of the middle-lit wall. Spot or center weighted metering if you have it, and Manual works best for me. Another way as mentioned above is to meter the window/outside and then use a bounced TTL flash. I agree with the lowest ISO like 100.
Not intending to hijack your post, Dr. Just that I found it was a little bit vague.
