UPDATE: Cha doesn’t like this photo at all - “It’s too dark, you can’t see the plate. I like your other photos, but not this one.”
Well, even though it’s my spiffy new plate, the plate is still not the star[1], and so I worked a bit in post to show it but not make it the hero of the shot.
But that’s on a perfectly calibrated monitor, which is all I can control. Once I post it, people can be looking at it on anything, in any kind of conditions, screen too bright (most people), screen too dim (as Cha’s phone was), whatever.
Also, the blob of pure white sour cream on top is way outside the exposure range of the rest of the image, so balancing that has its own issues.
I just post my version of optimum and let whatever happens happen.
