How Can I Avoid Glare?


 
 
Even when the sky is very blue, it sometimes appears as a glary white on my pictures. Why? I use an Olympus D400-Zoom digital. How can I avoid this? The camera was facing north, and the sun was coming up in the East - about 10 a.m.

Ken Pang 		  Your camera has a very low exposure latitude. By the time the main scene is exposed correctly, the sky is already over exposed. Not much you can do about that, except use a VERY powerful flash to brighten the main scene. (Impossible, if the scene is a large area.)

The bright side of this (pun not intended) is that you can always correct this very easily in any good program like Adobe Photoshop, PhotoDeluxe, or JASC Paintshop Pro.
