[Well, Anders, I\'d call that ETTL....because by not allowing any significant highlite clipping on the bird (a very localized clipping is OK and sometimes inevitable), I have effectively pushed the entire histogram to the left.
Suddenly I can see the light. This is about semantics.
The term \"Expose To The Right\" is totally misleading. What I mean, when I say \"Expose To The Right\", is \"Expose From The Right\". And I am sure I am not alone. We tie up the brightest part of the image (The right hand end of the histogram) at the clipping level. The direction of where you move things may either be To The Left or To The Right, but we start at the right hand side, hence \"EFTR\".
I am sure you masters of the English language can refine my idea about a renewal of the ETTR to EFTR.
There you go, we are looking at different sides of the same fence.
Here is another example of a darker bird with larger environmental contents in the frame.......the exposure is still pushed to the left, in terms of the histogram. However, if we are talking a more practical and meaningful language of photographers, one could perhaps say that a degree of underexposure has been chosen for this image (on purpose).
