I am happy i found this topic about sun shade split. Its explained a lot. If anyone can explain one point. Your picture is made up of shadows but you have some spots of sun. For instance under trees its mostly shade but some sunlight pokes through so would a scene like that need to be underexposed? How much over exposure can color negative handle and still remain normal looking? I know there is 4 stops above. I assume around 3 or 4 over it begins to look overly dramatic.

Hello sorry if my english is not good. Im confused with exposure. I dont seem to understand when it is right to under or overexpose. I know a shot that is regular the reading will be good. Night time should be underexposed too. Im confused with intances that you use diffusion or flag to make a scene less bright. Does that mean you need to under expose to? If the level of light is low does the meter give the right reading or make it to light. Thank You Victor
