Truck & Fog (Adjusted & Original RAW Images)



Photo taken with an Olympus E-510 using the 12-60 lens. Two things:

—Very bright sky due to the sun hitting the low cloud cover. This meant that the camera could not record any detail in the upper left-hand corner.

But I decided that that was OK, because my eye couldn’t discern any detail there anyway.

—The camera meter averaged the scene so that the bottom half was too dark. So I lightened that part up in Photoshop, first in Adobe Camera Raw, then as an adjustment layer. Also, slight cropping on the right hand side.

I’ve included the original shot straight out of the camera for comparative purposes.
