I have an ongoing issue that I need to fix because its driving my crazy!!
I like my pictures nice and bright. The problem is, that I blow the cheeks and that spot on the middle of her forehead about 30% of the time. It drives me crazy. But if I drop my exposure then I don't get the brightness that I really like. I guess I flirt on the line of over-exposure and sometimes I push it a little too far?
So how do I get the nice and bright pictures without blowing those spots on my client's faces?? I know its tough to fix blown spots like that, but perhaps someone has tricks??? lol
I'm a busy photographer, so I'd like to get the pictures right when I take them so I don't have a lot of post processing to do.
Things you might want to know:
I use OCF
Lightroom
PSE
Here is an example of what I'm talking about. Thanks in advance for all the great advice!
