[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 204937, member: 13090"] Exposure is the result of the combination of the Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO used to take the shot; adjusting any one leg of that triangle will alter exposure assuming all other factors remain unchanged. So, closing down your f-stop one full stop, from say f/8 to f/11, will cut the amount of light reaching your sensor by one half, assuming ISO and shutter speed remain the same. Your issue is not exposure, [I]per se[/I], it's the extreme contrast between your background (sky) and your subject in the foreground (leaves). You camera can't compensate for this stark difference like the human eye can, so we have to take what steps we can to mitigate the difference.
