<p>[QUOTE="Denis Richard, post: 4649348, member: 112673"]An example of a dark coin on a dark background. It can be tricky to capture and bring out detail in the darks, but the important thing is to capture them when shooting. This is when exposing to the right is helpful. Exposing to the right, or ETTR, is an approach to photography that is as helpful as it is controversial. On one hand, it can potentially ruin your exposure if utilized incorrectly. On the other hand, with proper ETTR, your images have as much detail in the shadows as they possibly can, without any of the highlights losing information along the way. This image has detail in all the shadows. If your image has too large a contrast range, than HDR with luminosity masks is recommended, however that is rare with coin photography.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1148318[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is the full size jpg file.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1148320[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p> Check out ETTR if you're interested.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
