Look! Up In The Sky!!!

SmokyOwl

Hey dude, your hair is on fire.
Is there a way to eliminate the sky and other fairly bright objects being WAY overexposed? I taped on a camera lens polarizer filter and that didn't help either, it just turned the sky a little more blue, but the great majority of the sky was just blinding white. Lens flares are abundant and can't see the sky pretty much at all, as anything that is bright is "I can't see anything I'm blind!!" bright. Can this be solved in editing?
 
GP Silver 3+; I'm trying what I can in editing, but it's so overexposed that there's not enough data to change anything.

The sun literally will white out half the sky, so even if the sun is on my left or right the sky is way overexposed. Only scenario where the sky is actually blue throughout is when the sun is behind me.

Post a pic? What you're describing is pretty standard for showing into the sun. Using Protune or spot metering?
 
I have a hero 3+ silver. The simple answer is no not really. There just not that great at working that kind of stuff out. No matter what settings I use its never right.

Your only real option is to make some changes when editing to get it looking a little better.

I was really hopeful someone out there had some kind of editing fix for it. Maybe the Hero 4 does better in this regard, there's a lot of videos out there in YouTube land that don't have this issue. I tried darkening things a little but the sky just started turning grey....so I guess I'll just have to live with it. Thanks for replying!!
