[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 390249, member: 9240"] Expose for the sky, or whatever is brightest, which often means underexposing the photo in its entirety. What you're hoping to avoid is the loss of any detail anywhere, knowing that you can often recover shadows, but not highlights. 1EV = 1 Stop. Most sensors have a 7-9EV dynamic range, and exposure compensation will allow you +/- 3EV in compensation. I generally won't spot meter for the sky but if it's blown out then I'll dial back on the exposure compensation until my histogram is no longer blown out. [/QUOTE]
