Not great but I'll take it. Sometimes just getting the EC dialed in right makes my day:-)

on December 15, 2006Kurt EC is Exposure Compensation, which getting it right is how you get the detail in that lighting..Also crossing fingers and toes helps:-) I don't often get it so the bird is lit up and I keep the blue sky. One of the reasons I was pretty happy with the shot even tho' I have some nits about it.
Thanks folks!

on December 15, 2006I'm amazed you could pull out so much detail in that lighting. By the way, what's EC .. you've mentioned it a couple of times.

on December 14, 2006Ginger, our red-tails don't fish (you must be thinking of Ospreys). Frankly, I like seeing him without a dead gopher in his beak. Nice exposure Thusie...I could use your help learning to set the EC.

on December 14, 2006This looks good to me. Don't you hate it when they peel off away from you just when you thing you're going to get a head-on shot? Still, this is tack sharp and perfectly exposed; so the model was a bit touchy; he'll come around again.
