Re: Another Picture of clouds breaking.

[Paul Stenquist]

I prefer the first shot, but for reasons of composition rather than 
exposure. I doubt that you would have gotten anything better on film. 
You're getting substantial latitude here, and the results look very 
good. If you wanted more stretch you could tweak it in PS with shadows 
and highlights, but I think the high contrast nature of the image is 
part of what makes it work.

Here is another somewhat underexposed picture of the same cloud scene.

I tried slower shutter speeds, but, that only resulted in ruining the
interesting clouds in the sky, which are the whole reason I took these
shots.  Any advice on how to get a better exposure in this situation 
with
digital would be appreciated, though, I imagine there is nothing that 
can be
done except to shoot film.

Let me know if you like it...  There are some jpeg artifacts there, 
that,
wont go away because photo.net doesn't let me upload files that have 
xml
preview data.  If anyone knows how to upload the higher quality jpegs
without having xml preview data, let me know.
