Re: [OM] Using FL-50R, wedding sample pictures, Eneloop batts, etc...

Although I was a bit intrigued by the lack of color detail in the near, 
but not completely, blown areas I should have added that I agree with AG 
on this point.  The hair impaired scalp is truly like a chrome bumper. 
The area that is so bright is small enough that the meter probably 
doesn't see it.  And if you check the histogram you'll find that there 
are no actual overexposed spots.  But the lack of color detail in the 
channels is still disconcerting.
