Hi

Below are some links to an image I took on holiday

I was crouched down taking some dodgy clichéd pics of driftwood when
I
realised I was about to get run over by something tearing down the
beach!
Had about 3 or 4 seconds to take the shot so I'm pretty chuffed that
I
didn't cut his head off :-)

Trouble is pretty obviously the exposure on the guys face, anyone
have any rescue tips I could try

Have played with fill flash and EV level but the results aren't
clean, I tend to end up with a white halo round his head

Any help much appreciated

Tim

Well, sir, it seems to me there isn't much adjustment required. What
you have is a wonderful artifact of your contemporary eye's
interaction with the environment. The eye closed down to protect
itself from the strong light, an effect lost by lightening the image.

If you want an artifact of the relationship among the environment,
your eye, your intellect, your software, the opinions of numerous
opinionated strangers, and post-experience experience, wail away at
it. I like it the original way, with maybe a little twist to raise the
right side a bit.


Thanks all for your help & comments

I know what you're saying Frank and agree to an extent, but the really
really annoying thing is that the guy's staring right down the camera lens,
Oh well next time!

Here's my latest attempt at lemonade spurred on by your help
