Tricky Exposures

A little techy stuff ... shooting in high contrast situations presents some interesting challenges. Here we have the dark rocks, the woman sitting on the rocks and the bright white of the surf that if properly exposed has all sorts of detail in it. If not properly exposed, the white of the water can "blow out," or the details in the dark areas lost to darkness. Adobe Lightroom makes this easier. Shooting in RAW makes it more so.
