I have been working hard on my landscape photograhy and I seem to have a lot of trouble with dark shadows. Let me explain: I usually shot in the Morning or Evening and I have been shooting when shadows are present. I was wandering how adjusting D-Lighting might help bring out detail in shadows. What about flash? Exposure? I will post a couple of examples, any advice would be appreciated. I have added fill light in PP and I guess I can do this on all photos, but I would like to know what camera settings would help me achieve my goal. I might add that I haven't used any filters on these pics.
