For shots with a high dynamic range it can be dealt with several ways. I’m putting in a link to an article where the photographer exposes properly for the bright area and then brings the shadows up in PP. he did this instead of using hdr as a quick and dirty method. this article is for darktable software but I believe the concepts would apply in other software packages. Maybe this will help you

Thanks Kcooke,

Squirrel condo...

That is an awesome shot. Love how they are snugged in and keeping warm in their condo. Great idea to leave their condo there when you remove the tree. Thanks for sharing!

i can think of two ways
I know this seems complicated but it's not when you actually do it.

Thanks Azi! I like all the steps written out! This seems like the two common themes and I actually would like to try them both. Weather is a bit ugly right now and I have Dr. appts with my Mom next week. So hopefully by week end the weather will be better and I want to get a few shots to try this out!!

I appreciate all the good advice and will post pic of my first efforts.

Thank you Don. I agree, this is something that I want to apply some time and practice to and develop the skill to make it work. I have seen some outstanding work done with HDR on landscape pictures.

Oooops, I was wrong on some points: there is no ability to make Selections in Lightroom, & the way the windows are situated it would be difficult to make such Selections. I'll try to be more careful w/late night posts.

HDR is the way to go. You can find videos on YouTube that demonstrate the HDR process (hope that wasn't a no-no, to refer to YouTube vids here…)

Been there, done that!! Thanks for the update.

How/If Question about a room pic

Here's a different approach: Do this after dark and turn all your lights off; set your camera to B, which means your shutter is wide open until you until you click the shutter again. Take your flash in hand, not connected to the camera, and walk around each room firing the flash to illuminate all areas. When you have flashed each room close the shutter. Your rooms will be perfectly exposed as will the outside starlight. You may need a little practice to get it right but it works. Have fun.

That does sound good and will be something to do once I get a good flash!
Thanks!

Got a good flash/s? Set your exposure for outside (ambient) and use the flash as fill to light the room.

No, I don't have a good flash. I am looking around at different cameras and will probably invest in a good flash along with the new camera! woo hoo!!
