>>3445626Looks like this might be clipping but I can't tell on my phone screen. In any case there's nothing to see in that area and it might as well be pure white. If that's the only area that's clipping that's still salvageable
>>3445642Correct exposure is as much light on the sensor as possible without white clipping. Google white clipping and turn it on with the little triangle to the right of the histogram in LR. If you want the scene to be darker you can always just lower the blacks and shadows in post, there's nothing wrong with that. What you want is to maximise the signal to noise ratio at the time of shooting. If you do that editing in post will give you more flexibility. There's always noise, there are rogue photons, there's interference, tiny electrically charged dust particles, the sensor starts overheating after a while, there's even cosmic background radiation affecting this shit. You have to basically drown all that noise out with as much reflected light of what you want to see in your scene as possible. If there's 10 units of noise from all those sources and you let your sensor hit 10 units of light the image will be noisy as hell. If you let in 10000 units of light that same amount of noise will still be there but it will be invisible, kinda how you can't see shit when someone shines a flashlight in your eyes. Even though it's bright enough to see, the flashlight drowns out all other light. Except the flashlight in this analogy is exactly what you want your sensor to see. You want it to not see anything else because everything else is noise.
