... if your picture seems to be too dark!
Just as with today's EK MSN 154 at the end of the CFF. Half backlight on the white body viewing the shadowed side plus the shadow under wings and belly made it difficult to decide how many stops to use to get a better overall exposure. I took +1/3
I'll show the original before and after using Photoshop.
The original's exposure is fine on the white nose (pure white there, that was measured by the spot metering) the sky is perfect too, but who cares if all the rest is nearly dark:
The dark contains information we can't see in this picture.
After using functions Photoshop (and other apps) offer to lighten the dark parts I stopped at this point:
The picture now is not perfect but more interesting for the purpose in the MSN 154 thread.
Please don't ask me what to do: there are zillions of How Tos on the net. The shortest way to learn are tutorials on YouTube.
Just keep in mind: under exposed is much better than over exposed: light details pushed to white stay white, there is no way back
