Robin
Hi to all,

Robin , photographed yesterday morning , struggled with the harsh lighting on this one and regardless of which camera settings I used the colours didn't look right , I think some much needed cloud cover was the answer to my problem :wink: , thanks for looking.

Converted in DPP / Processed in CS2 (Cropped)

Canon 1D3 , 500F4IS + 1.4T/c , Gitzo1325 , Wimberley v2
1/640th @ F8 -2/3rds E/comp iso400 RAW

All comments welcome

Regards

Andy... :smile:

Very nice - love the diagonal of the perch and bird

On his shouting perch - always love shots like this one Andy :toast:

There's a couple of CS plug-ins that can help with harsh lighting a bit - both by Digital Film Tools - Ozone is one and 55mm is the other; the 55mm being the most useful imho and well worth having - far superior to Nik stuff too :wink:

looks good to me too, I often prefer to see some sunshine on birds' feathers. It always nice to catch one mid-song. Nice perch too.

Seems ok to me Andrew like the leg up stance and of course the capture of it in full song. :toast:
