Caucasian faces are often brighter than the picture average if directly illuminated. Silhouetted faces against the light are obviously darker. Modern cameras have face recognition and, if thus set, properly expose faces with priority. Absent that you can of course just make an educated guess for a manual correction, but for best results you'd want to know. | |
