Re: Understanding Exposure
Yes, I know, I am talking to myself, but this thread is my exposure journal, and anybody commenting is welcome to ride along and share their thoughts.
From what I have learned, I must be very careful not to blow the highlights. From what I have seen in this test, highlights are blown quickly. There is an adage out there, "expose to the right" but I don't think that is a very good idea, since based on this test it would be more difficult to tease detail out of an image that has been exposed to the right.
It seems to me that by underexposing by one stop the range of detail from highlight to shadow would be greater.
I am also struggling with the application of this exercise. I need an Obi Wan to help me understand.
