[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 661834, member: 13090"] What you're running into is a matter of [url=https://digital-photography-school.com/understanding-dynamic-range-photography/]Dynamic Range[/url] and it's a bit of a sticky wicket for all photographers. The "big stick" solution is to use HDR, or "High Dynamic Range", photography to overcome the problem. It requires a particular shooting technique (bracketing) as well as specialized software, such as [url=https://www.hdrsoft.com/]PhotoMatix[/url] which works with the bracketed photos and merges them into a single image. The other, lower-end approach, would be to work with the shot in post processing. Your best bet would be to expose the shot for the Highlights (meaning no blown out Highlights) and then do the best Shadow recovery you can. It would be a bit of a juggling act to see you can strike an overall exposure you're happy with. [/QUOTE]
