Best to start with a good color version before converting. Something with a good tonal range.

When there is no texture or detail, essentially a white - or black, for that matter - blob. If you were to go back and look at that bird again, you would see features in the feathers, but they did not end up in your image because they were outside the camera's 'dynamic range' [at that exposure]. Short of metal shining in the sun or some other extreme situation, there should always be details for you to capture, provided you are shooting with an acceptable exposure.ChasDennis wrote: How can one tell if the picture is blown out.
If you want to step into it WAY deep read up on the "zone system". It will teach you more than you ever thought there was to know, or wanted to know, about exposures.
