>>4384198I wasn't there on such a day though, gotta work with what you have
>>4384234Clouds get CLIPPED
If it's too bright for my eye it's too bright for my image
>>4384314You are right on the fact that "contrast" is a retarded word that confuses the situation
I meant it's pretty low contrast because you don't have many shadows, because everything is in shadow
The only other thing you have is that white sky
But in between the two there are very few levels of darkness-to-light, our dynamic range is lower than usual, either X part of the image is too dark or it's too bright
Photography's about compromise, and when the available light is hard to use that's when you compromise the most, but it's also when you find alternative ways to make things work (editing the RAW file, pushing your film, going all artsy or using B&W)
