Recovered Dove
May 21, 2019 20:29:04 #
My Wife took these pics with my D7500 while I was at work. I shoot in manual mode mostly and she had no idea how to make any changes and just started shooting with my last settings. Needless to say, all the shots were overexposed, but I was able to bring them back in post processing with Corel ASP. They turned out really nice and I even watermarked them with her initials. Ahhh, the wonders of post processing !

Nice recovery. For future situations, just remind her to reset to P for Professional and the camera will handle the rest.

You should leave the camera for her more often, these are nice shots! Teamwork rocks!
Your wife’s initials also rock!
Your wife’s initials also rock!

Hi, Tdozier,
It’s obvious that your wife was simply assuring capture of the highest possible image data possible by properly exposing to capture as much as possible of the camera’s raw-accessible dynamic range. When the image, having been exposed beyond the right (EBTR) was tonally normalized in PP the wisdom of that exposure technique was revealed. She most definitely did NOT “overexpose”. She exposed such that the brightest possible image was captured without clipping highlight detail, but coming as close as possible to clipping highlight detail without actually doing so. She’s holding out on you, Td. Somewhere along the line she determined how much extra raw-accessible DR your camera has, and merely exposed to use it all.
Or...maybe ... it was just good luck! Either way, a perfect EBTR exposure was the result! An image with the highest S:N ratio possible!
For more information on EBTR just search in UUH archives for “EBTR”
Good job!
Dave
