Great set.

Egrets are such a pain when they're against a dark background. I always use spot metering and start at .5 under exposed or boost the shutter to at least 1/800.

Thanks bud. These were the best I could get with the Canon P & S. I don't think I blew the whites out, right? I was like -3 EC.

No whites are good.
If it has a raw file you should be able to boost the shadows and get the background a little brighter without killing the white.

Very cool angle on the 3rd egret.

I was shooting in jpeg. Thought I switched camera to raw but didn't hit the o.k. button. Pissed me off, got lucky. I raised the shadows but it looked a little chalky.

Nice set! I think #5 is my favorite. I think I may upgrade to a point and shoot!

Thanks. Don't, the camera has its limitations. The manual mode is a major pain. Program mode works the best. Stabilization is not that great. If your sure handed, it can produce some sharp photos. Lots of misses. The color is very good, huge reach.

Ya only so much you can pull out of a jpeg.
Great job non the less.

I was only kidding about the upgrade; it was just meant as a compliment.

Thanks, I think so. Last time I seen one was when I lived in Texas. First time seeing one in MI, I was rather surprised.

Nice Set Brother.
