## Caption

Today's question from James K. is, "Hey David. I photographed a daytime concert in a covered bandshell, where the band was a lot darker than the fans, who were in bright sunlight. I was allowed to go on stage to get shots of the band and crowd together, but I struggled with the background blowing out from the contrast. How do you handle event photography when the lighting is this extreme?"
