I went shooting yesterday around my complex just to play around with settings. Auto iso, aperture, etc. The shots are coming out over exposed. They look perfect in the camera, get them to the computer and not so much. Comments and suggestions welcome.
Here are some examples. These were adjusted in Photoshop cs6. I should have saved and shown you before editing.
I am having trouble seeing indications of overexposure other than some bright spots in the water where there is some loss of detail. I do not know how these images compare to the images prior to editing. I don't have enough information to help.
I think that people would be able to help you better if you would supply an image with EXIF data that has had no post processing. Also, please provide more information. Give a brief explanation of the overexposed aspects of the image. Also give a brief explanation of what was different in the camera. Please include the camera model and the capture mode (presumably JPEG). Tell us if this is a continuing problem or just happened yesterday.
Jules - "perfect in the camera" based on the LCD display or the histogram? Did your posted / edited versions come from the JPEG or RAW? The camera displays a processed JPEG as well possible brightness settings so the display can be viewed in bright daylight. Exposure should be verified from the histogram, not the image as displayed in the LCD monitor.
The final results look fine although I wonder if the bottom 2 show grass that is that deeply green midday in Las Vegas during any time of the year.

Good idea still learning the camera. Okay I fudged a bit on the green saturation. Although the grass is turning green a little early for us this time of the year.
Posted edited version shouldn't have.

Is your exposure composition set to zero?

It was then I used it according to what I saw in the camera.
Check the camera settings for Picture Control to make sure it is set to Neutral (NL). Nikon provides 7 in camera options that, more or less, applies some (pre)post processing image adjustments in camera. Setting this to NL will prevent the in camera software from applying changes. I am not certain, but both of my Nikon's were set to Standard (ST) and I do not recall ever making that change. After resetting to NL, the highlights were much better in my images.
+1 on the JPG render in the viewfinder
Exposure appears to be "right-on" Jules.
I don't see over exposed at all. The atmospheric condition that day must have been very hazy.

Those of you who are telling Jules that the exposures look good must not have read his post because in he states that the pictures he posted were adjusted in Photoshop before he posted them.
These are such beautiful shots, Jules, and very well done!
