Eighth image from #Brisbane #WeekendWander #Photography. Again, using highlight-weighted metering on #Nikon #D850 to stop the exposure at the point any pixels reach maximum brightness, so highlights don't blow out for both the #Sculpture, and the #ArchitecturePhotography. When I saw the way the statue was lit by the afternoon sun, I immediately thought of Steichen's 1911 photo of Rodin's Monument to Balzac.

Fifth image from #Brisbane #Photography #WeekendWander, and more #ArchitecturePhotography. A Fun justaposition of near and far circular windows, and the velvet shadows you really miss in tone-mapped HDR or matrix metered shots. Nice solid blue sky, and almost zero highlight clipping in post.

I find I need to drop the ambient room light for these images.

Fourth image from #Brisbane #Photography #WeekendWander, continuing highlight-weighted metering. Still impressed by the lack of blown-out sky in the gaps of the tree cover, which I woud normally expect with "normal" metering, like Matrix.

Also, when the cast glasses frames break off your #Bronze #Sculpture, you do not solve that by AFFIXING A PAIR OF PLASTIC FRAMES INTO THE SCULPTURE'S HEAD WITH A BRASS SCREW.

Went for a #Photography #WeekendWander in #Brisbane last weekend. Afternoon experiments with #Nikon #D850 trying out highlight-weighted metering. It's an interesting mode that produces something reminiscent of slide film, and exposes really nicely - very similar to what I'd expect with a hand-held lightmeter reading the sunlight directly.

Not having blown-out higlights is a huge plus - recovered darks look a lot better than data-less lights.
