Thanks for your comments Jediboy. I was standing on the edge of a cliff at the time and I just couldnt get any higher (didnt have my step ladders
). I would have preferred to get the shot without the bushes but just couldnt. I dont think a crop would work here.
Thanks littlebro. I am looking into buying a proper calibration device. But when I look at the image on MY monitor in LR or PS, the exposure is lighter and I can see detail in the foreground. Maybe this is a problem when uploading onto this site?? I dont know. Has anybody else experienced the same problem?
(I will try that link first, thanks)
