Fine Image.  I really like the bark on the branch, as well as the detail on
the bird.

PESO The joy of digital

2019-03-24 Thread Paul Stenquist
Sometimes your exposure is set for a normal shot, but then something very 
abnormal comes your way. Like a bird in shadow against a white sky. With 
digital, you can just fire away and change the exposure in poet without any 
observable loss of quality. This was shot at ISO 250, f9, 1/800th, which was 
just right for birds fully lit in a neutral setting. This guy was high up in a 
tree, shaded and against a white sky. I pulled the trigger and added 3.25 stops 
of exposure in post, making it approximately ISO 2200.  Some contrast and 
saturation adjustment and then a levels correction, and we were in business. 
Bluejays are very shy by the way, so I don’t pass one up even in a tough 
situation.

Re: I think it's a red tail

You did well under the prevailing conditions. Presumably the Bigma? I've 
tried to get shots like that with my Sigma 170-500 DG without success 
even in good light.

The tail certainly appears reddish!

Those are very nice action shots, Larry.  You handled the lighting quite
well, and brought out some nice detail.

Re: OT: CAT (Wrap Up)

2019-03-24 Thread Alan C
Larry had it! The f numbers refer to the cat's irises, not the camera. 
Obviously the same camera f-stop (same DOF), 1st one in dim light, 2nd 
one fill flash. The first one should perhaps have been f0.9, not f2.8, 
according to Larry's link.
