But this one has allowed no dark detail, it is simply well overexposed.The old time saying was "expose for the shadows", but that only applied for negative film.  Digital is positive, more like slides, and that rule is "expose for the highlights".Or, we could try to avoid (or reduce) the extreme contrast, maybe use a cloth screen to filter the lighting, or chose a different time or place, etc.</blockquote>
