Re: Toledo, Day 1

You are the master of perfect exposure! Any tips on your techniques in both shooting and editing?

Thank you all for the compliments!

As for exposure tips... bracket, bracket, and bracket, I guess! If you are in front of a unique photo opportunity, you don't want to screw it up to save a few MB on the CF card. Storage is cheap, photos can be priceless. If you really need to, you can then select the closest frames by judicious chimping (use the histogram).

As for processing, shoot RAW and know what your RAW converter can do. No point in fumbling with white balance, color, sharpness or curves while a picture is staring at you. You will be able to do a better job with a cool head and time to think later on. Maybe this is because I was trained in the age of film; back then (as now) I only worried about exposure and composition, developing came later.

Finally... practice, practice, practice. Which, in the case of photography, means shoot, shoot, shoot and process, process, process. And that is a lot of fun!

Also, know how to use digital blending (the shot of the narrow street uses it, as well as my palace shots last week). And don't be afraid to use fill-in flash, as in the close up of the antique car.
