Thanks for the comment. Prolly more to do with the initial exposure than PP. I have a bias to +EC when shooting. This is a habit I developed when using canon cameras. I used to really ETTR with canon and pull back in post. The results seem to be different with the Sony a6500....I find it much more difficult to recover highlights. Also contrary to canon, I find I can push the shadows much more with the Sony files. That said, I still find myself trying to nudge the histogram all the way to the right when out shooting. Oftentimes leads to a bit of over exposure. I can't stand underexposed shots.
Thanks

Interesting! I almost always shoot at minus 0.3-1.0, then raise shadows a bit (average around 0.5 stop) in PP. Nothing extreme. This protects highlight detail, which is most vulnerable, with Sony, Nikon and Canon sensors. With low ISO, I'm willing to raise exposure nearly 1.5 stops before I can see any shadow noise, so I err on the side of under exposure for most "average" outdoor shots of medium tone. Obviously, lighter or darker than average require specific adjustment of EC.
Anyway, you have the important thing -- a good eye for design!
