[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 729308, member: 13090"] I absolutely use ETTR and have for a long time. It's not a trick, it's just a technique for maximizing the dynamic range of your camera. The critical thing is exposing to the right [i]without clipping the highlights[/i]. For some reason that bit seems to elude a lot of people. With that being said, remember as as well the histogram on the back of the camera is based on the embedded .jpg - [I]not the raw data[/I] - so you need to experiment a bit and learn how much you can "clip" (according to the .jpg histogram) without [I]actually[/I] have clipped them in the raw file. I was surprised at just how much "clipping" I could actually get away with according the camera's histogram. [/QUOTE]
