I can't help you with your question. But I can say that your bluebird pictures are really nice. I love the background of the 3rd one.

I think you made quite a bit of exposure adjustment in post otherwise #2 should be much darker than #3 as the ISO was about 2.5 stops lower.

Yes, I did. I was quite unhappy with the SOOC image produced by the camera for the first two, with my auto-WB and auto-ISO settings. 🤨

Thank you, Kathy. That's the shot where the camera picked the "right" WB and ISO settings.

I have bluebirds year round. I'm in Greensboro. I put out food they like and have bluebird houses too.

Cary is not that far north. I don't have a bird feeder other than for hummers. Maybe that is why I do not see them in winter months.

Very nice. It's 16° here, so I don't expect to see any warm weather birds today.

Thanks, Jerry, for the feedback on the pics.

I have good number of them here. Yes, they prefer wide open areas and golf courses fit the bill. The one in the picture is a female, males more vibrant blue.

👍

While the 3 shots were taken within minutes of each other with the same camera settings, the metering came out different for the first 2 compared to the 3rd. Trying to figure out what happened from the RAW file. Maybe the sun came out for the 3rd (?).

Comments and critiques welcome.

Lovely shots, Ronnie
