I wondered if anybody might be able to help me out with recommendations on how to shoot birds in challenging light. I have found when shooting into the light, and where there are white clouds - the overall picture ends up overexposed as a result of getting just the bird properly exposed, or if you shoot to avoid overexposure of the sky, your bird ends up underexposed which results in poor detail when you try bringing it back in Lightroom. Is it essential to have a filter to achieve best results in these situations? Here is an example of a picture before and after PP - you can see there is quite a lot of lost detail due to underexposure.
