This Osprey carrying Spanish moss for its nest was photographed down by the lake at my home in Indian Lake Estates, FL with the handheld Canon 400mm f/4 IS DO lens and the EOS-50D. ISO 400. Evaluative metering at zero (yikes!): 1/2000 sec. at f/8.
As it was early in the day, I should have added one stop to the suggested exposure but I followed my old rule: when in doubt, press the shutter button. I thought that I had set +1 but found to my dismay that I had not. IAC, I was surprised that over-exposing one stop during conversion (in BreezeBrowser) did not cause much noise. In fact, I like the look of the image. I think that the orange thingies are oak leaves.
Don't be shy; all comments welcome.
