Two Shots Taken in the Woods that Diverged
Feb 25, 2022 12:19:45 #
These two shots were taken about a week apart at Kensington Metro Park near Detroit of almost the identical bird, a Red-Bellied woodpecker, from the same angle on the same stump. Shown are the finals of each shot after post processing that I brought to them to optimize the images.
The shot on the left was taken on a heavily overcast day. Fill-in flash was used. The shot on the right was shot on a bright sunny day and the same fill-in flash was used to keep the comparison symmetrical. Only exposure adjustments and of course sharpening were added. No cloning was done except for the catch light added to the birds eye on the overcast day shot on the left.
The point of this is that both shots have similar image quality but different 'feels' to them. The overcast shot on the left being decidedly cooler among other things. But I don't think this would be easily noticeable without a side-by-side comparison.

They show that the blue-yellow axis of the WB slider is well chosen for dealing with natural ambient shifts.
To my eye the red-orange of the head plumage in the right hand image is perhaps a bit too vibrant, which isn't surprising since it had bright yellow sunshine on it. It's also possible that infrared from the heat of the sun may have slightly skewed the sensor's rendering of the red end of the spectrum. IR filters block IR but they're not perfect.

Yes. I like your analysis. Very subtle shifts in color temperatures and certain colors.

What I noticed about the cooler shot was the snow. Definitely cooler. 
Yes, a different day, a week apart. Same spot, same bird maybe.
