My first post, and new to the site. I am learning a lot from the forum already and can hopefully apply what I have learnt to some of my images.
This image was created ith an Olympus E500, 50-200mm, 1.4TC, at 283mm, ISO 400, 1/125 F4.9, Aperture priority, -0.3 Exp. comp., RAW, no flash. Early morning, dull light.
I am learning both photography, and PP techniques and still struggling with correct exposure.
I blew the highlights slightly above the birds eye, adjusted Exp. slightly in Adobe Bridge.
This is a crop of approx 75% of the original, levels, curves to lighten a couple of dark areas at the front of the wings, quick Mask, smartsharpen 500, 0.2 lens blur, slight colour adjustment to neutral & black. Also cloned out a few distracting leaves from the background.
Thank you to a great forum.
