Description

(Some minor cropping was done putting these photo's together. There were some unwanted distractions on the right side of the frame, which now made the dark T-shirt off center.) The original photo was taken hand held in Program Auto, using spot metering. The meter setting was a mistake from the start. As you can see, the metering was taken from the from the black T-Shirt worn by "Bryon" and caused the remainder of the frame to be extremely over exposed. In CS5 Raw, I made the following adjustments:, Exposure-2.05, Recovery 58, Fill Light 40, Brightness 80, Vibrance +15, Saturation +15. These corrections brought back all of the details in the washed out areas in the hair, clothing, structure, etc...

Exif: F Number: 5, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/160 seconds, Flash: did not fire., ISO: 200, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 40.00 mm, Model: NIKON D300

BetterPhoto Websites: If you see an orange website link directly under the photographer's name, it's totally okay. It's not spam. The reason: BetterPhoto is the one that offers these personal photography websites. We are supporting our clients with those links.

Unavailable EXIF: If there is no other information but 'Unavailable' in the EXIF (meaning no EXIF data exists with the photo), the 'Unavailable' blurb is not displayed. If there is any info, it shows. Many photos have the EXIF stripped out when people modify the image and resave it, before uploading.
