Salt Spring Tuesday Market Scene

Salt Spring Tuesday Market

Hot weather attire at the Tuesday Farmer’s Market on Salt Spring Island.

Info for photographers:

I blew the image below. It’s always best to get the shot ‘right’ in the camera. Not to try to ‘fix it’ in ‘photoshop’.

Leaving the market I saw the couple again; this time in the perfect shade of a vendor’s stand. I quickly raised the camera and fired off a shot forgetting that the camera’s manual settings were intended for the blinding sun. The original image was horribly underexposed, so dark that the tattoos were barely visible.

But an advanced camera sensor with excellent dynamic range and careful ‘developing’ (in software) produced the image below. Not the recommended way to go, but lovely lucky this time.

Dynamic Range and the Leica M
