Camera Tip Pitstop.
When shooting, your camera will meter the light and suggest appropriate settings based on what it thinks is a "middle grey". While top end cameras have the ability to colour meter, most cameras meter between black and white. Therefore that's why they try to average the light between the extremes of black and white and come up with a grey somewhere in the middle. Hence your white subjects look off white or even grey, and your dark subjects just don't look dark enough. Exposure compensation is necessary to correct this, which we will outline in our next post. Happy shooting.
