I had a fun and wordy week after writing an article about a technique to produce clean and rich in shadows pictures from high costrast scenes.

In short it is about shooting the image twice, one correctly exposed (not burning highlights) and one overexposed so the darker zones are actually captured in the middle luminosity (nothing really new here).

The technique is a method for handling these two images in PhotoShop, so you can blend them and achieve a compound image having the best of each capture in a quite simple way. You can read the whole article at http://jtrujillo.net/qpix
