[Leica] IMG: Storm Sweep

[rgacpa at yahoo.com (Bob Adler)]

Hi Dennis.
It was my 4th exposure. The skies kept blowing out and I had no?graduated ND 
filters at hand. This shot, that worked, kept the highlights of the sunny 
clouds 
inside the histogram and shadows fell off. Lightroom was able to pull the 
shadows back into view which is pretty amazing. Of course this is just the 
opposite?of what you'd expect from BW film (expose for the shadows and damn 
the 
highlights). And?the increadible dynamic range you can capture vs 
film?(without 
doing tricks such?as pre-exposure).

So it was at the?exposure written; just the difference in information 
available 
between digital and analogue...
Best,
Bob

Really nice photo. I'm not sure about the 1/4000 shutter. All I know is on 
ISO 
125 film I would never be able to get a photo at 1/4000 and f/8.0.
