OK, I'm obsessed with this tree at noon!!
Yet another 'exercise' in controlling shadows and highlights at noon in a field
with my favourite oak tree. Again, exposing for the shadows and developing
for the highlights. I took 35% off my 'standard' time for this development.
I think the shadows are nice, and the 'high noon' light on the background
trees is better controlled. According to my spot meter, there was a 7 stop
range in values in this scene.
