Exposing to the Right article

Here is a very good simple article about exposing to the right (ETTR)that explains things in laymans terms and shows two of the single most important things to be aware of.

1) On the back of your camera, ETTR will look like crap.
This is normal, your image is only halfway through the process.
It does not have to look brilliant yet.
It has to look its best at the end of the process, not halfway through.

2)If you look deep into the shadows and recover detail from the shadows, you will see that the ETTR image has much less noise there.
