Blown Highlights



Hi All

My passion at the moment is photographing fungi in situ. and try to capture their natural colours for later ID. I use a Canon EOS 30D and EF 24-70mm f2.8 L USM lense for this subject matter. Aperture priority, usually f16 and a slow shutter speed, tripod mounted.

One of the problems I encounter is loss of image data in the highlights. A recent example was of a Fly Agaric, I experienced considerable clipping in the white flecks on the cap which spoilt an otherwise nice shot.

Any tips or advice in avoiding this would be welcomed.

Gerry
