:lol3 she's yellin' at him, you don't bring home enough worms! stop readin' yer damn internet forums! what? *another* box from b & h?????????????


this was just a 30-second job didn't do the fine blending work... - but you could take your origs of these two, and make a stellar print imo. the exposures are very close... i used brightened up the screamer part just a little...

Thx, not all of them were. These were the best 2 out of about 15 shots. Another problem with Black birds is you have to get a light in the eye, or your cant find it at all.

Nice work. All your images look nice. Number 4 is the REAL keeper IMHO. The bird is perfectly composed in the image and you have nice contrast between the bird beautiful feathers and the blue sky.... without losing much detail on the bird.

Greaper,

A fine series of shots :thumb :thumb The frog is my fav also, but those red-winged BB shots are outstanding :clap :clap Great job on the exposures :thumb I know what you mean about getting some light on the eye(s). They are so small and so dark, you seldom can get the eye in focus by shooting blindly at the body :scratch

I like Andy's brightening job. He over-lapped a bit on the leftmost bird (blurring the wing), but I like the feather detail the brightening brought out. It does look like the same branch too....lol

Excellent pics, thanks for sharing them :D

I love the frog. Very sharp. I think I'm seeing better how images like this can be better not centered.

I myself wouldn't try it.

WoW...I didn't know RWBB had eyes! Excellent capture on them! Any shot I ever got of a RW...no eye shows up! Love the series!
