Taken in RAW, spot metered on windows and normalized shadows later in PP.
My main problem was the extreme DR and trying to avoid blowing the highlights while at the same time recovering the shadows.
Maybe others can accomplish this in camera but after over 50 years in photography I sure can't.
Don't get too bent out of shape that it's not perfect I'm just trying to make a quick point.
Perhaps others can accomplish the same in camera but I sure can't.
The final image luminosity is very close to what my naked eye actually did see when I released the shutter
which was all I was trying to accomplish.
