“Fat Fat” posing as the “Alien Dada of Ultraman”!

Now, to get this kind of acceptable shot at washed-out afternoon sun of Singapore, simply tone down your EV by as much as two stops before lighting your subject up with a touch of flash compensated also at EV-2.0. 

In this way, you retain significantly more ambient highlights while still capturing color-accurate subjects. For added effects, I dropped in the CP filter on the lens to “suck” more colors out of the otherwise washed-out skies and backdrop.

Did I also say you should stick to Spot metering?
