The photo below shows a typical example of a landscape photography situation with challenging dynamic range. Taken at ISO100, f/8, and 1/180sec, the multi-pattern (matrix) metering on the Nikon D200 choose to expose the clouds properly but most of the scene below the sky was under exposed. Should I blame Nikon for making such a bad camera? Nope, you may get similar result, if not worse, from just about any camera. Thanks to the camera’s decision not to properly expose the field instead, or I would be left with over exposed sky that I could not fix with post-processing. It is really a easy fix in Nikon Capture NX. Follow the link below the photo to read more.
