One of the reasons why I think photography is so fascinating, because if you…get out into the world with your camera, well, it really keeps you humble,…because it's difficult.…It's tricky to try to capture correct exposures.…Like with this picture here one of the things that I knew I needed to do is to…try to have some detail in the sky, yet in doing that the subject is well just…completely under-exposed.…So what I want to look at is how we can use our basic panel controls in order to correct that.…One of the things that we might try is the Exposure slider.…
In doing that I can go ahead and brighten the image, but then the rest of it,…well, I've lost all of this detail on the surfboard and on the sky.…The Exposure slider here, it's just too powerful.…What I really need to target is I need to target my shadows.…So here I double-click the Exposure slider control that then resets it to 0.…So let's go down to our Shadows slider, in doing that I can start to boost those shadows.…You see how I'm bringing light into that area of the picture?…
