Blown out corners

[jtaxel]

Ok so my gf, took some pictures at the beach. ALot of them the sun was barely in the corner. and as you can see, the corners are blown out,

Is there any way to adjust it, marquee just that corner? or mask??

Thanks guys

Are you only showing the top part of the image and a hat ?

What Metering mode are you using and how are you metering?

i'm going to guess during daylight and the face in shadows (with sun mostly from the left/back left) that you were exposing for the shadow, bringing up the exposure and blowing out the sky.

This is an instance where people would use a flash to bring up the person's exposure to balance out the background/sky with the subject.

If you expose for the sky then the shadows would be even darker.
posting more of the image with EXIF would help too.

Most pictures are about like this ,

But the sky is much bluer, and the left corners are blown out, of course because of the sun.

You could apply a graduated layer or a graduated filter in LR, but that will only improve it slightly. As mentioned above, the best way to deal with this is by using fill light to reduce the dynamic range.

Can be fixed in Photoshop. Better to have moved around so the sun was behind you......This is an example - sloppy but you get the idea...
