That's an interesting looking truck bed, I like the PP. Have any closeups of various parts of it?

On the tree, I'd like to see more foreground leading up to it if possible. That green would compliment the tree well.

I like the PP on the tuck bed, but the tree one is a little too blown out in the sky for me. I think a little Recovery might correct that.

Thanks! Next time I may try combining exposures.

Nope, but I could get some. I'll try this on the next pretty day. Thanks.

It's not that bad and if you do that you will run into trouble with clouds and branches moving between shots. It is doable but fiddly.

I would try next time shooting it exactly the same way in raw, then recover the cloud highlights in PP.

Much easier and better than HDR when you only just clipped the highlights.

I have never shot raw but I'll give it a try! Thanks.

Just think of it as storing a little more than you see on the preview screen, so you can recover "the hidden extra bits" later. There is a bit of a learning curve but its worth it so don't give up if the first few attempts don't wow you. Come back here and ask. That's how I learnt anyway.

Will do! Thanks for the advice.
