Hi Dave, I checked the raw file, the metering worked just fine, the Histogram is a Gauss Bell "fat" on the left side and with a small peak on the right side (probably the overexposed face of the guy in the middle). I had to underexpose 1 stop aprox when processing the raw file to the "digital B&W negative" (tiff 16 bits) to recover some of this guy's face and darken the shadows, but that was more an "artistic" decision, the k10d espose to the right, and tried to pull detail from the shadows (details that I didn't need but the camera doesn't know who the subject is ;o) ).
Later, Fernando PS: In my first reply I meant "latitude" no "latency" ;oP On 5/24/07, Fernando <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Dave, thanks for the comments, I just let the K10D meter by itself > (multipattern metering) but I shot raw so I might have use some of the > extra "latency" that the raw process gives me, I don't recall exactly > but I let you know once I go back home. > > I found that the K10D consistenly handles the most difficult > situations pretty well (better than my DS) > > Thanks again > > Fernando > > On 5/24/07, David J Brooks <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > You take pictures of additions to cultural places, and i take pictures > > of additions to farm out buildings. > > > > LOL > > > > I like them both, the placement of the sun and the dark shadow area work > > well. > > > > The second one i really like.
