Kelly,
Great summary and conclusion on your part
I think after reading all this and with the limited experience I have, I total agree with what you concluded
We now have several top quality tools/ techniques to use to help us get the best exposure possible in all conditions. Now it's time to use our toolbox of tools until we perfect every one of them
All the best to everyone and thank you Kelly for starting this thread and keeping it going for as long as it has!! You have the most effort and eagerness to learn I've ever seen. You also have the nerve to post your raw images on here for all to see over and over! I only know of a handful of people willing to do that. And IMO, that is the best way to show people what your doing and getting the best help available
Bravo!!
Best,
Jay
