Congratulations Mikko Viljamaa for your image "Great Egret Fishing-Part 1" being selected as the Eager to Learn Spotlight Image of the week ending 10/15/2010!!!
1. Hi guys,
I took this already a few weeks ago but I haven't found time even to go thru most of the cards lately. But as you can see from the heading I have another photo coming still from the same bird...
This was taken on a sunny day and I tried to save details on whites as much as I could. I think the exposure is quite right, at least I didn't see any warnings. The light was just plain harsh. My other self critic is related to the angle. I wish I could have been able to shoot this from lower but...
EOS MK3 + 500/4 + 2.0 TC
F/8
CW-Average 1/3200; -1/3
ISO 500
Car used as a hide (can't wait to get Artie's bean bag which should arrive tomorrow).
I cropped the photo slightly in PS and did just normal sharpening (using this time the smart sharpening instead of unmask).
Any comments how I can do better next time again are appreciated...
Cheers,
Mikko
