Old European Village Scene w/7D

[AlphaAri]

Needed an old European Village "Shtetl" for a girls school I was working with.
Zero budget, zero cost, used daughters for talent.
Besides minor stability coming through the doors, this works.

7D shines.

Location was great. Way too hot on the exposure there.

I don't know if the 7D meters the same way as the T2i, but I would suspect that it does. The meters read too hot. If the camera says it's spot-on, you can assume it's about a stop overexposed.

looks good. yes some places were pretty overexposed...but looks good overall. i usually underexpose a little when i half press the shutter.

Thanks for replies.
I slapped on an old world filter that overexposes areas.
With these objective replies, I sit back and look differently at what I'm doing. Thanks
Peer review rocks.

Neat local! I too will agree with the blowouts. I usually try to get my exposure to -2 in the viewfinder.

Just a quick question: I'm actually having a tough time finding out how to set the camera where the metering will be done for whatever object you put the square on in live view mode. Used to work. Now it doesn't really. Changing the spot metering style doesn't seem to do anything.
