Thanks! to you each of you for your inputs I have never shot in Raw and so will need to understand my photo editing software. But that will be something to be getting on with.
I am finding that birds Birds like the Magpie which have both black and white coloured plumage are very difficult to get a correct exposure balance, for instance if one underexposes for the white plumage, the black pards of the bird end up as a dark impenetrable mass and if one does it the other way around the white areas are blown out and lack detail. Birds that are either black or white seem to be easier to get close to to correct exposure. What is the the solution??
This group includes; skimmers, roseate spoonbills, stilts and terns. We had relatively low humidity yesterday, so the pictures are fairly clear. However, the light was harsh, so you can't have everything. Thanks for looking.
Nice portrait and the head position really adds to the shot. If it were mine, I would crop from the left, probably closer to a square frame. Nice shot.
Just tried that and youβre roughy it make a big difference Thank youπ
