Shooting HVX200 with redrock and primes. Location and subject matter deals with a tropical island; beaches, jungles, harsh sunlight. Sweeping vistas and beautiful photography are in order, perhaps a bit of time lapse ala koyaanisquatis and baraka. This would be ideal for film, but budget will not allow it.
Initial thoughts would be to make the h.d look work for instead of against me. Lo-con filters? Extensive fill light? Magic settings in the menu?How can i deal with these high-contrast shooting conditions with the format? Any bits of advice/words of wisdom from those of you who have experienced similar situations?
