[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 836690, member: 48483"] Bright white bird against dark background. The crane is overexposed and that is where the detail is mostly lost. This is where we would use spot-metering rather than matrix-metering. Even then you likely would be darkening the exposure. Shooting raw to get the extra dynamic range to recover, I would duplicate the image as 2 layers over each other, then process the exposure separately. Layer-mask and paint the mask to reveal the appropriate part of the lower layer, then merge. [/QUOTE]
