Here's a GB that was kind enough to come in low and slow.
Next week I'm off to the San Juans. I heard the temperature and the humidity are both below 95 there.
When I get back, I'm sending my XTi to Canon. I cannot seem to get any texture on blacks, as in Grackles and Redwinged Blackbirds. Tom Webster told me that there is a known problem with XTi's for underexposing blacks. I hope they can fix it.
Nice pic Lance . Do you shoot in raw ? That would help with the blacks.
Regards
Don

Thanks, Don.
I do shoot in raw, but even with Adobe's 4.1 raw sliders, I can't seem to get the "texture" or "soft details" that I see in other people's pics. In addition to Grackles and RWBBs, this also happens to me with Coots and Moorhens.
