The bottom one, with flash, was exposed for 1/60 second.<BR/><BR/>Basically, for the first picture the camera saw more dark areas than light areas and set the exposure accordingly. This resulted in the light areas being overexposed.<BR/><BR/>On the second picture, my guess is 1/60 is the minimum exposure the camera is programmed to use when the flash is engaged. It just happened in this instance that 1/60 was the right exposure for the light areas in the sky.<BR/><BR/>To achieve the proper exposure for sunset photographs without resorting to manual controls, you could try zooming in or otherwise framing the image so that as much of the frame is filled with the light areas of the sky as possible (including some horizon for a silhouette in the bottom of the frame is okay, however. But I recommend it should take up no more than a third of the frame).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17161546884157478567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27443661.post-60272331422120491722007-06-29T12:51:00.000-07:002007-06-29T12:51:00.000-07:00I was way overdue visiting your blog!

I don't know for sure what the correct answer would be, but my assumption is that in the top photo it read the sun as your 'light,' thus lightening the whole effect of the picture. <BR/><BR/>Whereas when you turned the flash on, it read as light whatever was in the distance your flash reads -- thus make the background (sunset) much more dark and brilliant (silhouette effect). <BR/><BR/>Did any of that make sense? :DBethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05230809042212722768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27443661.post-5465630619532560582007-06-27T18:26:00.000-07:002007-06-27T18:26:00.000-07:00The pictures of the sunset are GORGEOUS!!!
