Hi
This is my first post on this forum. Yesterday I decided it would be a great idea to continue my familarisation with my new K3II by taking few photos in the snow (and to check out the weather resistance of the body with pancake lens (40mm DA Ltd)).
The pics in the cemetery in this album look plain odd - as if the tombstones weren't in the original picture and have been crudely Photoshopped in as a post process. Not sure if this effect is as a result of the extreme contrast of the subject matter, my dodgy / lack of technique or camera settings. Your thoughts on this matter would be much appreciated.
The effect can be seen on the jpg's off the camera as well as on the RAW file prior to any processing.
Here is the histogram
And the exif....
