Backlit Seagull taking off

[gmarquez]

I've been getting "skunked" on my latest photo expiditions, but at least this one is a bit interesting. Consider it a study on worst case exposure because it really wants a much higher dynamic range than today's digital cameras can muster (although Nikon's d-lighting can pull out *some* detail out of the dark silhouette).

The title sounds just like one of those photos that I adore, so I'd, you know... love to actually see the photo.
(It's not showing up for me.)

Dang geocities/yahoo! (my hosting company)...thanks for the heads-up, Emma. Is anyone else having problems viewing the picture?

(Emma, try again later, if you would, and let me know. Again, thanks!)

No problem! And I hate to say it, but the photo still isn't showing up. Maybe you should try a different hosting site? I'd still love to see it.

i like it :thumbup:
though for me, this is a case where i would want just a full black silhouette with no detail
