i'm going for highlights here, but i'm not sure if i got it right or not. this is sooc, shot in black and white and D-lighting was adjusted in-camera. my nikon can only adjust the lighting two clicks up or down, no more no less.
my understanding of highlights is the white or highlight in a b/w shouldn't be too light that the details are lost or blown out. here, i can still see the individual beads.
thank you for your kind visits and comments; know that they are truly appreciated.
