INFO:
Exposing for highlights in photography means adjusting your exposure settings to preserve detail in the brightest areas of your image, preventing them from being overexposed or “blown out.” 1. Use Spot Metering - Switch to spot metering and meter off the brightest area of your scene (e.g., the sky or a bright subject). - Adjust exposure so that the highlights are properly exposed without losing too much detail in the shadows. 2. Lower Your ISO - Keep your ISO as low as possible to prevent unnecessary brightness and noise. 3. Adjust Exposure Compensation (-EV) - If using Aperture or Shutter Priority mode, dial in negative exposure compensation (-EV) to darken the image and protect highlights. - Start with -0.3 to -1.0 EV, then adjust as needed. 4. Use RAW Format - Shooting in RAW gives you more flexibility in post-processing to recover highlight details compared to JPEG. 5. Post-Processing Tip - In Lightroom, use the “Highlights” slider to recover blown-out areas and balance exposure. I also use Brush to darken the black area. Let me know what you think? 📸💯
