[QUOTE="Nathan Lanni, post: 190593, member: 14629"] Here's another one from the beach. By this time the overcast was gone and we were in full sunlight. We had a nice little friend who hung out with us most of the day and wasn't too far off, as you can tell from focal length of only 105mm, but I did manage to get some bokeh but it was a little uneven. I think that's due to my shooting angle and the short focal length. I like this one because it could almost pass for a monochrome, but the highlights in the beak and debris on the ground. There were some white gulls too, but they weren't as friendly so I had to settle for this cute gray gull. Not a pretty, but a buddy is buddy regardless, right! BIRD BUDDY Looking at the image data, I must have been experimenting with Active-D Lighting because I had it set on Extra High. Also interesting is the Auto white balance, but I may have been worried about the intense light not knowing if I should gamble on setting it myself. 18-200m lens @ 105mm 1/800s @ f/5.3 ISO: 100 Exposure Mode: Aperture Priority Matrix Metering High ISO NR: ON - Normal Long Exposure NR: OFF Active D-Lighting: Extra High White Balance: Auto1, 0,0 Landscape Picture Control [/QUOTE]
