Out of technical curiosity, how do you do the test strips. That's an interesting comparison.
Joop, if you are using Photoshop, Hold down the Alt key when you are adjusting the white slider, you will then be able to see the white points breaking through and starting to become overexposed.
I would say that your cameras' light meter, compensated for all the reflected light off the white tails and stopped down the exposure, better that than burning all the whites out.
Shooting RAW would have helped or manually dialing up a +1 (or so) f. stop exposure adjustment on your camera.
Brian, somehow I'm worried about what you did to the Northwest tail in your edit.
Hey Wallace. After you marked the strips, every changes you make (adjusted levels, sat/hue) will be "inserted" in the marks. Same goes with the splitscreen test.
See example below, Press the Marquee tool and press Shift button.
or you make a duplicate layer, apply your changes to that .. Then apply your selection with the marquee tool, press delete and reveal the original layer.
Look at the histogram, the right side, and you will see that this pic is underexposed, easy to improve imho

If the sun casts a dull winter afternoon light, why is that bad? Should he manipulate the photo to make it different than it really appeared? I know you don't care, but I disagree.
