We came across this unusually shaped rock on the track to Wineglass Bay in Tasmania.
I didn't have my portable flash with me to use as a fill flash to add some light to the underside of the rock. My camera's built-in flash was not strong enough so I took a few photos until the histogram, when reviewing the image in-camera, had data all the way to the right.
There were a couple of blinkies flashing in the final shot due to the few specular highlights in the scene. These were easily recovered in ACR. I was also able to extract most of the detail on the underside of the rock by adjusting the various sliders in ACR and with a Levels Adjustment layer in PSE to move some of the data on the left of the histogram more to the middle.

Good on the spot thinking, Bailey. I am trying to get better at that as I often come home and look at a picture and think of what I should have done!

Thank you hmca 
When I am walking with camera in hand I normally keep one eye on where I am going and the other looking out for possible photo opportunities and potential vantage points with regard to composition and lighting in the hope of avoiding taking just a "snapshot". When I am on my own I have more time to experiment.
