>>3977608Way to show your own hand.... the tent photo is not my photo. I even told you how I would have taken it had I been the photographer. Your own ego apparently made you blind to what I wrote and caused you to project your hurt feelings onto me. I'm sorry you are so strongly attached to your boring photo of a trail in the shade.
>>That said, that's a *really* strongly contrasted scene>Apart from the sky you lost, it's not.The whole point of that post was to show two different attempts to expose the sky.
Here's a photo I took, from a similar location to yours, where I would be able to lift some shadows in order to even out the lighting if I wanted, but note that the majority of the photo is correctly exposed to begin with, so it's not merely a matter of polishing a turd, like your example. It would be an artistic choice of controlling how much contrast I wanted in the photo.
