Hi,
Please help mw with this recurring problem. Blacks appear flat with no detail, shadows grainy.
Both images at 100 ISO, in RAW, one octobox 200watt lowest setting. Used a light meter said to set to F2.2
Close up, light was 3 feet away and was shot at 2.8, the portrait light was further back - probably 5 feet.
Question is - why does it do this? (has happened before shooting on white, with a baby with black hair and aperture of 5.6)
Another question, how best to fix it. I have LR4 and CS2.
many thanks in advance.
