who are we kidding? ....... It's the Nikon camera she is using that makes her take bomb pictures.

Want to buy a 5DIII?

Looks like great sets of images.

I was thinking nearly his exact thing. Ive been trying to ignore my highlights lately myself.

I'm too danged technical to ignore highlights. If given no choice I'll begrudgingly let them go but it bugs me to no end. Otherwise I prefer the "reality" of keeping it all in range.

Well I am just a rookie but in the first 3 pages of outdoor images I don't find anything special than any experienced POTN poster.

Right?! I almost feel like this topic deserves its own thread. Ill go make one.

What do some of you mean by "ignore the highlights"?

I think the original question was how she does it, but I don't think anyone really explained it as a complete process. Obviously only she could truly explain the complete process, but what do you guys think she did from start to finish?

Indoor shots, second one from the top, top of left-hand window: no details whatsoever because it's pure white, i.e. the highlights are blown. Usually a big no-no in these circles, but exposing to get some details in that area would mean losing at the other end of the dynamic range.

I think OP posted same elsewhere on here.... What do you mean by "clean" anyway?

Typically the term "clean" means natural…
You hear this term a lot in the fitness industry (eating clean), meaning natural, no artificial ingredients, etc… Same applies to photography, clean meaning natural with no "crazy" post processing, colors are neutral, skin tones are natural (not orange or tangerine because you want to give a tan to a person who is normally pale). Focus is sharp, composition isn't something complex or has to be explained….. I.E. the image is "clean".
