Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

I am ver much looking forward to any opportunities to use my newly acquired 17-35. But unfortunately I'm stuck at work and indoors everday between the hours the sun goes up and comes down...
I decided today to document my journey using this newly acquired lens, since I have a 70 minute commute each way. Travelling the breadth of Sydney, I thought I was likely to come across interesting photographic opportunities, however upon review - all the pics looked the same: crappy, boring unimaginative shot from inside the car with indistinguisable distant scenery out the windows.
The least crappy one was the last frame of the day - arriving home, just getting out of the car, standing on the driveway and looking across the street admiring the setting sun.
More than anything, this shot illustrates Nikon Capture's much improved highlight recovery (since ver4.4) and D-lighting features than it does the 17-35 lens or my lack of skills. <sigh> Ah well, thought I'd at least share something before I delete the lot.

Nice shot and congratulations on this exciting purchase. By highlight recovery in NC do you mean D-lighting or are they two different things?
Thanks
Alex

Alex, altho D-lighting does have a slider for highlight recovery, what I meant was using the -EV slider in the Advance Raw options in NC.
eg. this was what the camera metered (sky very much blown):
Earlier versions of Capture would not have recovered the clouds as well IMO - it would just turn the sky into a darker patch of white.

Thanks Onyx. I see what you mean. I use v. 4.4.0 but haven't yet needed to use the feature yet. Looks very good!
