This is not the first time I use a soft white promist as a way of avoiding the whites to clip while using digital. I used it on a commertial we shot under an overcasted sky, as I wanted the most latitude I coul obtain on digital I set the camera (sw-750P) on minus 3dB of gain and used a soft white promist. The result was a washed out image we could fix on color correction by increasing the contrast. We finaly had a good image but my question is if this method is worthy or is it just a stupid idea.
I have to shoot some scenes on a beach and I'm a little concerned about the whites and so but I don't want the final image to have the soft wedding look that the promist gives...
Do you think it still being a good idea..?
