4 common problems with dynamic range (and what you can do about it) Mar 11th 2014, 00:01, by jmeyer Dynamic range is at the heart of exposure theory, and nowadays it’s much easier to measure. However, there are four situations where dynamic range can be an issue for photographers. Our photography cheat sheet below spells out these four common problems with dynamic range and explains what you can do to make sure you get it right. Click on the cheat sheet to see the larger version, or drag and drop to your desktop to download. Common Problems with Dynamic Range: 01 LANDSCAPES: DOUBLE PEAKS In landscapes, the sky is often much brighter than the landscape itself, and no single exposure can capture both. The solution: Landscape photographers use graduated filters to block some light and bring the bright sky back into the camera's dynamic range. SEE MORE: Camera filters – which type is right for you? Common Problems with Dynamic Range: 02 PORTRAITS: FACES IN SHADOW Backlighting will either leave your subject's face in shadow or, if you increase the exposure, leave the background blown out. The solution: Use fill-flash to lighten your subject's face and bring the scene back into the camera's dynamic range. Common Problems with Dynamic Range: 03 SUN AND SHADE: HIGH CONTRAST Bright sun under a clear sky can produce a difference between light and shade that's just too large for the camera to cope with. The solution: Shoot RAW. RAW files contain extra highlight and shadow detail that you can recover later on your computer.

The solution: Use HDR photography techniques. Shoot the scene at different exposures and then use HDR software to merge them into one image.
