REDucation 2
This image was originally posted in Avian. Juan kindly educated me as to handling over-saturated REDs. Be sure also to check out Juan's original tutorial here:

What I learned has helped me to consistently get the right exposure when creating sunrise/sunset silhouettes using Robert O'Toole's Kelvin White Balance trick. See Bulletin 285 in the BAA Bulletin Archives. It will be posted in a day or two.
This Roseate Spoonbill was photographed at Merritt Island NWR with the handheld Canon 400mm f/4IS DO lens and the EOS 1D MIII at the same pool where I photographed the flock of Snowy Egrets (Dive Bombers) that I posted yesterday. ISO 400: 1/1600 at f/7.1 (should have been f/8 but I recovered the blown hightlights while converting in BreezeBrowser. AI Servo AF with the central sensor only. Slight crop.
If you are not out at Alafia Banks with James Shadle it is not often that you have spoonbills landing right in front of you; sure was fun.
All comments welcome. Don't be shy; I am here to learn too!
