[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 584913, member: 13090"] I agree the shot is a little contrast-y. The big question is, are you shooting in JPG or raw? That scene does have a pretty significant dynamic range... So, if it were me, I would use ETTR (Expose To The Right) and then tweak things to perfection during post-processing. This is where shooting in raw really comes to the fore and sometimes fixing things in post is the best you can do. If I could have any one, single improvement in DSLR photography I'd want more dynamic range and this is why. Anyway, some suggested reading: [url=https://photographylife.com/exposing-to-the-right-explained]Expose to the Right Explained[/url] Another option would be bracketing several shots and using HDR to merge those frames into a single image. If you're shooting in JPG there are a couple in-camera settings you can try experimenting with. Try some of the different Picture Controls (Landscape, Vivid, etc.) as well as Active D-Lighting (I personally don't care much for Active D, but that's me. Try it for yourself and see what you think). [/QUOTE]
