I picked up a DA10-17 and was messing around with it shooting a brick building. The sky was overcast, actually it was just starting to rain with the sun high in the sky (1:45PM). I was specifically trying to photo an Archway, but was having problems getting the details of the brick on the front and underneath it in the shadow.
The first was at 1/125 f5.6 and I like how rich the color of the bricks are in this one, but the underneath portion is a bit too dark. So, the next one was at 1/90 f5.6. The sky and front looks blown out.
I am trying to figure out the happy medium? Should I have changed my focus point?
