Exercise 8 Camera Dynamic Range

For this Exercise I attempted to take a shot similar to that described in the course material.  It was in  my back garden and I used a white piece of card.  When I did this I could not get a photo without highlight clippings so I resorted to using the white window frame.  I used my 35mm prime lens. The camera took a picture at 1/13 shutter speed.  I then isolated areas of the photo and looked at the exposure for each area.  The highest was around 1/200 for the dark areas. On may camera that it is a range of 12 stops.
