A Royal Navy carrier (Ark Royal, according to the sailors' hats) is in Greenwich today, so I decided to take a picture of it. It's a rather uninteresting picture, but given the very grey tonality I thought I'd play around with exposing to the right to see what difference it made in Lightroom when I applied a tone curve. I first made an exposure on auto with no compensation, and looked at the histogram. I then dialled in various amounts of over-exposure to move it to the right until the histogram fell off the edge.
To my surprise, when I look at the pictures in Lightroom the histogram is significantly further to the right than it is on the camera's display. So the exposure that was right up against the edge in the camera, has fallen over it in Lightroom. Is this normal? Have other people seen the same thing with their cameras? Here is a photo that was over to the right, but not quite at the far end. About +1.5 stops, I think. http://www.web-options.com/Carrier/content/_6175495_large.html Architectural note: you can see the dome of St. Paul's towards the bottom right - it's about 5 miles away.
