I did not think that Sue's or Leo's (or for that matter my image) was blown out... My histogram certainly did not look that way... But... color and exposure is perceptual... and there are a lot of variables.... Either way, it obviously looked overexposed on Ted's display... And since the cardinal sin of photography is overexposed slides and overexposed digital files, underexposed negs... and blown out whites in prints... I can understand his comments.... But those are sins that I never really commit... I always bracket under exposure shots on just about everything where I can... Otherwise I tend to shoot things about ? stop under in raw and fix it later... None of these versions were pushed down to make them darker.... I'm not real fond of gray whites either though... Note: This was shot at sunrise... so the lighting is also a bit different than what you would expect.... Anyhow... here are three versions.... One should look better on your monitor than the others... : ) http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/dbirkey/DR_Ted/Duane_Birkey_201311559_lg.jpg.html http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/dbirkey/DR_Ted/Duane_Birkey_201311559_lg2.jpg.html http://gallery.leica-users.org/v/dbirkey/DR_Ted/Duane_Birkey_201311559_lg3.jpg.html Duane
