Expose for the Highlights, Print for the Shadows - Photography Quick Tip #8
Written by Gregory Cazillo Tuesday, January 24, 2012 09:55
You should be setting your camera's exposure with the highlights in mind. Be careful not to overexpose important parts of the image by using the histogram. Exposing this way will give you the maximum amount of data to create better & more colorful images.
Next step is editing your photo. Its easy to adjust your shadows in Lightroom to have a full tonal range. Check out the video!
You should also check out my video Why You Need Perfect Exposure in Digital Photography that shows you what the effect of underexposure can do to an image.

keep up the good work and thanks for saying you would buy a D300 before the D7000 that saved me allot of headaches and I love my D300, don't use my D200 that much now.
