I have a question about best way to set camera for exposing for highlights method.
I know people will say to test this myself and this type of reply gets very old quick. But I want to know opinions of experts also besides my own. I'm not expert.
Is best to set pedestal a bit higher like -2 or zero to capture more shadow detail? Since you will need to grade up to lift midtones with blacks less crushed maybe you get less noise?
Or is best to set pedestal lower like -5 or -9 to move the latitude down the slider and protect highlights more? But this will crush blacks more and will have more noise when you grade up no?
