Re: Birds 2014
2 starving birds in the cold, glad we're sharing the Chickens treats.
Taken thru a dirty picture window, and on the laptop monitor I can't tell if I made this too light or not.

Re: Birds 2014
Dusty, brightness is fine, but contrast is the problem (too low IMHO)

Re: Birds 2014
Yes, now that I'm on a real monitor I see that. On the laptop it looked different at every angle! I don't think the dirty picture window helped any with the contrast!Dr. Harout wrote:Dusty, brightness is fine, but contrast is the problem (too low IMHO)
How's this one?

Saw another bald eagle. This one sitting on top of a sprinkler. I guess he didn't want me to stop and take his picture.

Re: Birds 2014
It has been a little while since I posted anything on the forum and it is a great surprise to me that I have some shots of birds that I thought worth posting here. They are not usually a subject I would attempt to shoot (I don't have the equipment, skill or patience to do it seriously) but on a recent tour of Sri Lanka I came back with a few half decent shots. These are probably the best of the bunch.
All shot with A77 + 70-300mm G

Those are cracking shots Ossie 
! Great, vibrant colours and I love the eye contact with the bird in the first one.

Ossie, those are some very good captures. I really like the very first little bird staring you down and the one of the heron flying off with it's meal.

Half decent Ossie!!! Talk about understatement of the year. 
If these are half decent, I can't wait for your decent shots.
