My photos are fully white, how can I recover the image?

Photography Asked by South City Pharmacy sumith on August 12, 2021

All photos I took while travelling faced the same issue: they are fully white.

Why is that? And can I recover an image from this photo?

I have included a sample below.

For this answer, I assume that you are using a digital camera.

The image is overexposed. Without knowing your setup, we can only give general advice.

  • Your camera might be set to M (manual mode). Switch to A, P, or some other automatic mode.

  • You might have set an exposure correction.

  • The ISO setting might be too high for sunny outdoor shooting.

  • On some cameras, you must set the aperture ring to the highest value (e.g. 32) for the camera to be able to control the aperture. Some lenses have a switch to lock it into this position.

There is not much left to recover, most of the picture is white, with some faint shadows in the lower left corner. I've reduced brightness and increased contrast:

You might have more luck with your other pictures. If your camera was set to store RAW data, you might get better results using these.
