[QUOTE="Pretzel, post: 264209, member: 12257"] Sometimes, if you spot meter for the subject, you'll still get a blown out sky, so you can meter to the scene you want twice, once on the ground/structure/person, once again on the sky, then try to manually set in the middle. OR... you can take two shots and layer mask. This works well with a tripod and remote shutter release. Get a good pic of your person, then have them step out, reset metering for the background and shoot the exact scene again. OR... you can use a graduated ND filter, or reflector, or maybe even fill flash. It would help if we knew more of your settings, though. [/QUOTE]
