Eagle Owl Flight (c)
Testing out a new imac machine. Never used mac before so here goes my first upload.

Colours & detail look much better on the mac than the PC, is this misleading because when I view on the PC it doesn't look as good.:confused:

Owls Name or Assistant is Turner.
Image taken this evening as the sun was dropping

Nikon D3X
Nikon 300mm VR F2.8
ISO 400
F2.8
1/1000th sec
Camera Mode: Manual
My first raw file :jump:
Taken handheld

Thanks for looking :toast:

Nothing much wrong with this, an excellent shot. Something strange with the owls right leg it looks soft.

Well anticipated and taken. Nice one.

Looks like you're getting the hang of the iMac Vince :wink:. The shot looks different viewed on your PC because the web browser on the PC (Internet Explorer) isn't colour aware - the iMac's Safari browser is, and so displays the colours properly. Enjoy shooting RAW too.

That's nice Vince. A nice bit of blur in the wings and a super bg make it for me.
Enjoy the new toys.
