Thanks btw they are all sunrises.

Do you use filters. If not meter of the sky just beside the sun or the brightest part of the sky and take hit the shutter or dial in positive ev compensation.

Cheers

You can invest in eaither Cokin or Lee filters, Netural Density & Graduated Netural Density (google to get more information. By using filters you can balance the dynamic range for bright and dull areas as in a sunrise or sunset landscape shot.

Positive Exposure compensation - when shooting in AV mode you can add positive or negative exposure compensation to your shot. Basically your camera is trying to expose for 18% grey. Your meter will try to underexpose a bright sky (to bring it to 18% grey)so you need to overexpose to get the correct exposure. This also applies for manual just over or under expose as required (to what to the meter is telling you)

Another way of thinking about it is if you are shooting a black wall your meter will try to lighten it (18% grey) so you will need to underexpose (negative exposure compensation). On the other hand a white wall your meter will try to underexpose to bring it to 18% grey so add positive exposure to get the correct exposure.

I am not a pro either.

I hope this helps.
