Will You PLEASE Stop Taking My Picture!!!!!
it was funny as i was reading the other posts today that Bruce had posted a BB and Al commented about the singing pose. I captured this one last week at Wakodahatchee Wetlands. I guess the activity has really dropped off since i was there. :(
D300, Sigma 50-500 at 500mm, f/6.3, 1/250s, 0EV, ISO 500, flash fill at 0EV with better beamer.
would a wider aperture gotten me some better detail over the entire bird?
comments and critiques are appreciated
.....sure did Harold I could not come up with one !!!!
This is the classic singing pose with the open beak and raised wings showing the red !!! Would tone down the red by lowering the saturation They come up like that from the camera with no help !!!
Sweet all around Love this image ... now all you need is to get one in a natural perch :D:):)
thanks al i desaturated it about 8 points. really started looking kinda funky after that. you know that's the first time i had to change the color on anything out of the D300!!!?!!!
That image totally made me grin.:D
I think they (R-WBB) are all up here:-) Love the pose and in your face look. Questions what is the blue line, around legs adn tail?
nonda, i dont know. i cant see it on my monitor.
I think it might be chromatic aberration.Originally Posted by Nonda Surratt

Nice job Harold! I sure do love that pose. I also see the chromatic aberrations around the legs, a symptom that can show up with some lenses. You can reduce this with many RAW editors, including ACR. I seem to recall you use Nikon software, so you'll need to look around and see if you can find any options that work for you. Look closely around the legs and tail feathers and you should see it. Overall the image also appears a bit too green and think that improving the color cast will improve your reds too.
thanks judd!! i now see the greens in the reds. i will give it another go on a better monitor.
Very nice Harold,
Love the pose, and the composition...:D
Nice job toning down the wing bars Harold. It appears you have captured the classic pose as well - Only prob seems to be the perch - nice image.
Bruce
Nice.
No, a wider aperature would only shorten the already too short DOF that this image suffers from. Try stopping down to f8 or f11 next time.
