I had to shoot a burial in the country yesterday. It was with aboriginal people and a 100 year old body was being returned from the museum to its burial ground in a tree. This was not being done until late afternoon. The light was going and I had 2 i/v's to do and overlay....
I shot on filter 2 using additional filters until I had to change to filter 3...and finally had to change to filter 1. Trouble is....there was no sun as it was very grey and overcast...so I put in a red grad filter to give a bit in the sky but shooting on filter 1, the pics looked like I could have shot it in the afternoon. I shoot on Sony SX, and it was that crappy overcast sky, dull and flat and without a sunset to give any reference to it being dusk, it looked like the middle of the day....
Any ideas how I could have improved the situation. There was a campfire later, but those cameras see so well you almost had to wait until dark for it to look like dark!
