How do you handle high contrast?  Do you sacrifice the highlights or the
shadows, or seek an average and accept poor highlights and poor shadows.

Is there a filter that can lower contrast, like a foggy piece of glass for
instance.  It is why I thought of a neutral density filter although I
suspect it has no value in reducing contrast.  What do you think?

TIA
Alan
