The Latin name for this plant is Fothergilla could be one of several varities.

He just wanted to know where to start looking for the solution the next time he ran into this situation.
Y'all go off on a several page rant on him and each other that has nothing to do with the original posting .. and then post photos too ... talk about hijacking first class.
Exposure compensation is the answer .. yet not one of you took the time or effort to explain it ... or perhaps it needs to be explained to you as well ... so yes I think there are more than one person on this thread that has a genetic predisposition to being unhelpful... and docrob ... you don't know anything about me .. so do us both a favor and don't address me personally in the future. Thank you.

It appears you do not know how to read, as I gave three, count them 3, options to use in the field to avoid blown out skies. By the way, exposure compensation is not one of them, as it will also darken the shadows. So get off your mighty throne, and go back and read. Sound out the words if you are having problems, before you blast people's responses. Also try prune juice, it will help your disposition.

Thank you Rpavich ,it is HDR . I want to redo it, lower the camera so that the grey rail will enter right at the lower left corner and maybe mover closer to the rail , may not be much difference but since i have it in mind i have to try it. i

Very nice Bridge Photos like that you captured from different vantage points....If you figure out how to crop the photo of your eage, would you please repost for us to see??? thanks!!!!
Tom,
that bridge shot (from on the bridge on the road itself) is really nice. I see you might have HDR'd it also, and I think that actually works very well here....
A very pleasing well done shot.

I saw this duck last week here in MD, Do you know what type it is? It may not of been that duck,but same type.
Thanks for the effort and , lighting the background was just the opposite then what i was thinking:) I actually darkened it. I like them both, it just that the bird was to far away to get a good focus on him.
