Adjusting for the blacks and whites and using HTP really aren't similar. Or are they?


Also: The "Jay" you posted a few pages back I thought was really good.

Rick,


I don't really know the answer to your question, I just never have seen the need to use HTP ... I can usually get proper exposure without it , I could see using it maybe for shooting primarily white objects or very brightly lit scenes but for birds I haven't needed it. So I have no experience or detailed knowledge about HTP, I was just saying I don't use it. It may work perfectly well.


Thanks for the kind words on the BlueJay


Joel
