Morning Hike &repost

@John_Williams Hi John, thank you! I’m seeing that what you did does make the image a little brighter. I have a question about that and Highlights. For instance this photo was taken looking West , which I thought the sky looked nice being illuminated from the sunrise in the East right after the sun had risen, so it wasn’t very light out at this point and there were a lot of shadows…in every photo situation should the histogram always be filled? Another scenario, after you told me this, which is great by the way because I never really knew what it all meant, I went to some of my sunrise photos and saw there are practically no highlights but when I move things over then there is no sunrise! Am I doing something wrong? I probably will be posting a sunrise photo soon and would love to get your feedback on that too. Thank you so much for your feedback and time!
