[QUOTE="Woodyg3, post: 456456, member: 24569"] It's very hard to get detail in any black animal, you need hard light at the correct angle to really get it right. The only solution I have found for BIF is exposure compensation and careful post processing. The adjustment brushes in Lightroom have been very handy tool at times, and have made several shots work that I thought were lost. That said, I've tossed a LOT of cormorant pictures that I simply couldn't save. Those black feathers just suck up the photons and never let them go! :) [/QUOTE]
