Re: [GZG] Question for the painting gurus...

Not an expert...!

However, I'll pitch in and say 'maybe'. It can happen, but tends to be a
bit less so in my experience. Of course, it may be I'm just more
tolerant
of washed out over heavily shadowed...

By the way, many cameras 'weight' the image exposure to the center, of
course, but , if you've ever noticed a half stop on the trigger, that it
hangs a little as you press the trigger, you can set a target area by
pointing, half clicking, and holding,  centered on the area closest to
the
exposure you want, then frame the image as you wish before you push the
trigger the rest of the way.

Did that make ANY sense?
