This is the view of a barn as seen from my parking spot at church -- another good test for the metering capability of the Nikon D300. Snow often looks gray (less than white reality anyway) when metered by many cameras, especially when the metering system of the camera is influenced by a large field of it as in this image.
I did not alter the exposure itself appreciably; shot in Raw, I used
Adobe Camera Raw and the
Recovery Slider to remove a few blowouts in the middle of the field. I also used the
Vibrance Slider to enrich the colors. It deepened the red of the barn slightly, but made the sky a subtle amount bluer, making it more interesting without it looking fakey. Note the settings below.
I just noticed that the EXIF data from Camera Raw includes the lens (35-70 in this case) and the image focal length. Cool!
