I'm trying to shoot some flowers - but I seem to get loss of detail - I first thought the problem was over exposure but the histogram looks OK - the flower heads seem oversaturated & as a result are lacking in detail - what do I do to get around this ? I've tried underexposure but it does not seem to help much. the shot was with K20D & DA 35mm 2.8 limited. The issue seems to happen with all my lenses to a greater or lesser extent
I can use camera raw to adjust saturation to get a pleasing image but surely it must be possible to expose this shot correctly with no need for post processing ?
