[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 552492, member: 13090"] [COLOR="#FFFFFF"].....[/COLOR] The big problem I see is that her face and body are badly blown out closest to the light source; so that's going to be unrecoverable. I would have probably checked to see how well Hightlight-Protected metering would work out for a shot with such high dynamic range with the plan being pulling up the shadows in post if I thought that metering mode was working reasonably well. I don't mean any offense but did you perhaps just forget to check your settings before you started the shoot? In looking at your settings I would have done a lot of things differently: [indent]Highlight Protected Metering (see how it works) AF-S with Single Point (instead of AF-A/Dynamic) Shutter Speed 1/125 or thereabouts (instead of 1/50) ISO: 200 or thereabouts (instead of ISO 2000)[/indent] Those settings are just approximations, of course. It's a tricky setting and would require some test shots before getting down to business. Do you know how to use the histograms on your camera? That information would have saved your bacon here. If you have a RAW file I could take a look and see what I could do with it in Photoshop, but that looks like a lot of blowout to me and there's just no fixing blown out pixels. [/QUOTE]
