Question Keith: What if (with the D7K) you spotmetered the white towel to +3.7 and in postprocessing apply a negative exposure compensation equivalent to -1.7EV, can the white towel be rendered to Zone VII just like as if it has been metered at +2EV?
I guess I don't really know what the challenge is. Are we just supposed to compose the shot to not include the bright sun or the dark shade? So, if we have a pic say under a tree at noon, then we are to take the pic so the subject is only in the shade and compose for that and not include the bright sun around the tree top? Just trying to figure it out.
Thank you very much Keith for answering my question by demonstrating it. What is then the saturation point of the D7K sensor based on its in-camera exposure meter?
As for the assignment, if I understood it right, is: Composing for Dynamic Range "of 5-6 stops for sRGB JPEG output"? Now I understand why you call it "Anti-HDR". I guess, my entry does not satisfy this requirement.
