John Mitchell Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Does anyone know if QC has a problem with small backlit windows -- ones that look like blobs of white light -- in photos of the interiors of houses, art galleries, etc.? These blown out areas can be almost impossible to avoid in some instances; but in my ongoing case of QC paranoia, I'm reluctant to submit images that have them. Thanks in advance.

Ed Rooney Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 The mother of my godchild is one of the top lifestyle photographers in America, and she has always made a point of having burned-out windows in the interiors she does for ads and the top magazines.

John Mitchell Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share Posted April 28, 2013 Shouldn't be a problem. Look for "room" and "interior" and you'll find plenty of pictures with overexposed windows. Most people don't bother to solve this problem. Personally, I don't like the white blobs and always use a tripod for interior shots. It only takes a few seconds to take a second shot with your exposure concentrated on the light shining through the windows. At home, combine the best of both shots with Photoshop. Cheers, Philippe Thanks, I did a search, and you are correct. There are plenty of images on Alamy with backlit/overexposed windows. Unfortunately, I didn't have a tripod handy for the shot I'm concerned with, and the rest of the room was quite gloomy. As usual, I'll just have to submit and see what happens.

December Blvd Photography Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I submitted a photo with a backlit window in my original application to become a contributor and it passed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
