Some time ago I was walking in Edale in Derbyshire and came across a helicopter collecting stone for footpath restoration. The helicopter was dark, the sky was very bright. Time to use a substitute reading to get the exposure correct. Fortunately, I had my video camera with me and was able to capture the process.
A blog post and images from this shoot can be found here: https://making-photos.co.uk/how-to-do-a-substitute-exposure-2/
I started out by saying that cameras are stupid – really stupid. Well I have to confess that so are photographers who try to photograph helicopters…. watch the video to the very end for the outtakes and you will see what I mean!
