[QUOTE="hark, post: 444659, member: 13196"] Without a starting point, it is almost impossible to point you in the right direction. EXIF is the starting point...although you don't seem to understand its importance. Good for you. :rolleyes: Are you for real??? :confused: One word comes to mind: [I][B]conceited[/B][/I]. You come here as a new member asking for help, and with your sample photo, it is quite obvious you don't know how to correct the image. A camera does NOT have the ability to capture everything as the human eye sees it. Its latitude for capturing the brightest lights AND the darkest darks within one photo are much more limited than what we actually see. And for this type of photo, the camera will either expose the sky properly throwing the shadows into darkness, or it will expose the bird's body properly while overexposing the sky. BackdoorHippie gave you excellent advice and even showed how your photo can be edited with post processing. If the bird was willing to sit and wait for you, you could have set up reflectors. But in wildlife situations such as this, you NEED to be knowledgeable about post processing because the odds of enhancing [I][B]this[/B][/I] particular shot with reflectors or other means was zero. Jake's photo could be manipulated more to darken the sky a little, but that type of thing requires even more time than what he already invested in you...and obviously he invested more of his valuable time than he should have. :grief: Please note what is highlighted in bold type above. You are clearly blaming the cameras for not being able to yield the results you want. [I][B]HELLO!!!!![/B][/I] Cameras are simply instruments that will follow the commands given to them (within reason). If the cameras didn't give you the results you desired, blame yourself. So...........where's the photo of the mallard you said would look great in a magazine? Let's see it. ;) [/QUOTE]
