Exposure help needed

[DzRbenson]

Hello All,

I am in need of some tips, I have been photographing planes lately and am having difficulties, When I take a photo the photo is to dark or on the other end the sky is white.

I am guessing this is to do with exposure, but just after some tips. Cheers

Have you got an example ?

But, it's going to be very difficult to expose for the underbelly of a plane without blowing the sky.

If you shoot RAW and try to get a middle ground then you might be able to adjust in post processing

I'd be shooting manual exposure I think.

Most of my shots for the day came out like this, even though the sky was blue.

They were taken on a Sony 70-300G lens, So the lens should handle the sky well.

Yes, well that is significantly underexposed across the frame, are you using matrix, or spot or some other method of metering, manual ?

Lets just say im pretty new to photography, and just starting to get out of portraits.

All I did was put it in Aperture priority, I was using auto focus on spot and wide.

Ok, don't use spot imho, use matrix and see what the result look like.
