God put me on earth to accomplish a certain amount of things. Right now I'm so far behind that I'll never die.

I believe that one is never too old to learn , so when someone ( even an expert ) , asks a question , I like to see what I can learn .

So , casually surfing the internet , I came onto this comment :
A high-key image can be created in the camera by intentionally overexposing the image or in the studio by adjusting the white point so that it is at 50, 50, 50 or above.

An overexposed image can be a high-key image although it does not have to be. An image can be overexposed without being high-key because it can still contain high tones or whites
.

....... As I said before , I am not a photo-boff , or a professional , and I do not make a living with my pictures - because that's what they are - just pictures , not photographs - but I like to play around a bit , and see what results I get......

And many of us are just that too , we are mere amateurs who sometimes like to share our PICTURES , without expecting accolades or rewards ;-)

...... for what it's worth O**
