White wagtail
One from this evening.

Quality of image is not very good, I updated my E-3 firmware late Sunday night and did not thoroughly check the settings before setting out this evening - everything was reset to factory settings so I had not configured the jpeg profile nor changed to raw plus jpeg, so the resulting image is softer than I would have liked. Also dialling in -1ev to prevent white face disc blowing added to the noise which would have been more easily countered in a raw conversion. - basically I messed up :rolleyes:

Oly E-3, 300F2.8, 1.4 tc, tripod, iso 400, 1/200s at F5.6, -1ev, tripod, levels etc in CS2

Hi Mike,

Lovely shot nonetheless! At least when you go out next time the camera will be set-up to your spec's!

Nice shot all the same. I like the colours very much.

In spite of the sub-optimal settings it's still a nice shot.
