Happy to hear it, @bennett-family!
Hmm…I see your point. I proabaly wouldn’t play with the aperture…you have a bit more leeway in adjusting the shutter speed though; just nothing under 1/125 for this shot, I’d say. Haha, I’m still an amateur editor as well! My education was packed into a 2.5 day ACTION workshop, and after that, I was one my own. Let’s say the internet has been a big help in discovering what all these post-processing sliders do. 😉 I think what you said about lowering the ISO, shooting a bit under exposed, and then brightening the image after would probably work. I do it often without thinking about it especially in shadowy areas…like our garden. 🙂
