I have a noob question about exposure and my X-T30 (wonderful camera by the way):
This is a random, throw-away, unedited raw I exported in LR as an example. My question is, why do my exposures always seem to be so extreme? I've noticed while editing that I have to turn the highlights way down, and turn the shadows up a bit, to get a reasonably exposed image.
I doubt there's a single culprit, but I'd love to narrow it down a bit so I can improve. Is it something that's just normal with RAWs? Is it a technique issue (I shoot with auto-exposure and usually expose on the subject, which I think may be wrong)? Are there camera settings that could be contributing to this, or potential camera settings that would help?
I generally shoot in aperture-priority with defaults for most other things (WB, metering, filters, etc.).
