Hi, I'm trying to take some pics inside a condo of the furniture, as well as capturing the water from the Gulf that is seen through the window. I use a fuji s7000 with different lenses, plus Polarizing and UV filters. What happens is I get the inside fine, but the window is all washed out (overexposed). Would anyone know of any suggestions to remedy that? Thanks Hopefully my advice will help you...Please post back with your results....thanks

Try lowering the EV value. Also try taking the shot at a different time to reduce the glare. If you were going to spend that much on camera why didn't you get a rebel? Good luck.

Thanks, I'll try that. I bought my cam on Ebay and got a real steal on it and the startup time is real quick. Hopefully my advice will help you...Please post back with your results....thanks

Sometimes there is no way to take a shot like you describe in the camera. But here's another way: Use a tripod and take two pictures. One picture exposed for the inside and one exposed for the brighter outdoors. Using your editing program, cut the properly exposed window out and paste it into the properly exposed inside shot.

Another method might be to use a graduated neutral density filter. The problem is the brightness range exceeds that of most media, digital or photographic film. The usual solution is to filter the window or light up the room. That how the movie people would do it. If you are doing digital the two exposure method is probably the easiest to do.

well I figured out most of the problem by making adjustments (under exposure and over..experimenting and also using my bounce flash off the ceiling) and then also taking the pics later in the day and I pretty well made an acceptional shot. Thank goodness for digital playbacks and pretty well unlimited shots. Beats the heck out of blowing rolls of film, that's for sure. Thanks to everyone for the replies Hopefully my advice will help you...Please post back with your results....thanks
