the night has become day

M_Six · 03-03-2012, 01:39 PM

^^^^Excellent. Well done.

M_Six · 03-03-2012, 01:55 PM

This was the scene out by my bird feeder just a few minutes ago. I boosted reds and blues and dropped the other colors to make the birds stand out. I think I have half the cardinal population of IL right here in my yard.

Chewy734 · 03-03-2012, 05:39 PM

what's your aperture and shutter speed on your last photo panicos?

dcstep · 03-03-2012, 06:06 PM

Mark, shoot that situation at +1 or even +2EV, then apply an S-curve to get more natural colors. If you push the reds, just do it a tiny bit.

I'll give that a shot. For this pic I was just trying to emphasize the bizarre number of cardinals I get in my yard. I have a ton of such shots, but it's not always as easy to see the birds in a pic as it is in real life.

wow, that's crazy, Mark.

Nice and healthy looking boy. Looks like his eyes are starting to show. Or are they still pretty clouded over at this point and the picture is just showing the pupil well?

rodi · 03-03-2012, 08:27 PM

they're starting to show - getting a little darker i think.

not sure if they'll stay blue or go green like mine.

rodi · 03-03-2012, 08:38 PM

Oh heck yeah! If you go, make it right around middle of September to November and the weather is perfect there. After November the rain sets in, and they get some good storms out there. Not sure when spring is, but I've been told the summers are nasty hot unless you are up in there mountains. Vacation spot for sure!

Chewy734 · 03-03-2012, 10:35 PM

nice shots rodi!

Panicos, lightened up I really like your picture.
Mark, a little deep on the reds and blues. The birds look florescent now.
Rodi, nice baby pics. Thanks for sharing that.
