Brian, you are only fooling yourself. You have clearly not examined the
histograms of these images... which are nearly identically overexposed.
The whites of the clouds are completely blown. There is no detail in
them whatsoever. And it's not failure of the camera to cover the
dynamic range. The entire histogram is shifted to the right which is
also leaving the deeper shadow areas overexposed. You have dark grays,
not blacks to go along with your blown highlights.
This is not clarity of light. It's simply failure to read the
histogram. You've been told the same thing repeatedly. Why can't the
old dog learn a new trick?
