[QUOTE="JDFlood, post: 223734, member: 11653"] Kris orb, When you get your D600 it becomes pretty easy providing you use something like Lightroom and shoot RAW. Use the multi point metering. Then in post processing slide the highlights slider left and the lowlights right. I do this in probably 80% of my photos to retain detail in the detail in the highlights and bring detail out of shadows. The D600 and D800 are incredible for this ability. You can also fiddle with HDR and other modes... But to me that involves too much fiddling, while you can usually just adjust in post processing. Also, make sure you have the highlights overexposure view turned on ( the blinkies ) to make sure you don't loose any highlights. I can shoot into the sunset, and still brighten the dead black shadows to perfectly exposed grass an bushes if I want. Amazing cameras. JD Btw, I used to rock climb, so, I think the D600 will solve your problems. Note, I have my D800 at EV - 2/3rds all the time. When your hanging taking photos, you'll want the Blinkie screen, the one you review the photo you just took... If any of the highlights are blinking, you can use the E/V knob to go further negative until you don't have any washed out highlights. I can bring back many fStops out of the shadows... Like 4 or 5.! A neutral density filter mostly darkens everything... The gradient would be a pain... Although a polarizing filter would be really helpful. The sheen off rocks frequently causes the overexposure, so a polarizer will help with everything. [/QUOTE]
