Todd, I thought that Farm Aid was the only show where shooters could roam around the pit for Neil, instead of being relegated to one side…I guess they changed that policy!

Nice shots.

No problem Todd, looking for ward to the article.

Can I ask about your workflow for processing RAWs or would that be like asking for the recipe to the secret sauce? I see you use Capture and photoshop, but which do you use for color, exposure and curve adjustment, sharpening and noise reduction?

Hey Clayton,

Blown highlights aren’t always bad – it just depends on what part of the image is blown. The most important part of exposure is determining the hierarchy of the image and how values are assigned.

For me, blown highlights are only a negative when they distract from the most important parts of the image.

I think you’ve just given me an idea for a new article, thanks!
