Cheers, Gene -------------- Original message from "Leland Deane" <lmdmd@att.net>: -------------- During two of his seminars (the ones I attended), Seth Resnick talked about exposure with a digital sensor in mind instead of slide film. While relative over exposure is death to film, keeping the histogram to the right as much as possible is desirable because you are adding 'information' digitally that you can work with. Now of course we're not talking about gross over exposure, clipping, or poor exposures. But the point is well taken that one should try and > 'gather' as much digital data as possible for post production. > Seth recommended, therefore, setting the exposure compensation in most > cameras to +1/3 or +2/3 of a stop.
