No flash problem. What Im thinking, and I vary well may be wrong, is that the main subject of the image, is exposed well, but the Hot Spots are Blown Out highlight areas. Im trying to think of how to explain this and Im not getting my thoughts into words. In scanning this would be due to the dynamic range of the scanner. If an image has areas that are very bright, areas that are mid tones, and areas that are very dark (look under the eves of the smaller building) you have to expose for the range of tones you want and the tones outside this range, go pure white, or pure black, or at least very close to those extremes and you lose most all detail. I have retyped this 4 times, and I cant think of any other way to say it. Hopefully someone has a better gift for language than I. Again I may be wrong, but I think this may be the answer. Regardless this is still a nice shot.
