Thanks folks! I agree that I oversaturated. In reflection I think I have a tendency to do that, especially with yellow. This is something I'll pay more attention to in the future. |

Thanks for your feedback Gunter. Yes, the noise and the lack of detail in the yellow areas were my main concern. I made the decision to go for high shutter speed and risk the higher noise level from high ISO. The bright yellow of the Goldfinch is what I saw versus more detail and I again chose to emphasize the color in my post processing. Your feedback is quite helpful...I'm going to reprocess this image for the learning.
Cheers!

Thank you Subhash. I use a similar configuration and settings for my BIFs. I'm in search of Owl in flight subjects which means lower light levels in many cases, so I'm exploring the upper ISO capabilities of the D500. Will be happy to share info if it's of interest. |

Now this is place I'd like to visit! It's almost two images, the Red/Blue integrated with repeating light patterns. The simplicity and elegance of both images are beautifully complementary. Kudos Helen! |

To me, the four layers of beach, ocean, lower clouds and moon form a very powerful composition. This is a challenging subject given the brightness of the moon compared to the darker foreground. Very nicely done. |

Another excellent BIF image! We only have two varieties of Kites in Western North America, so it is interesting see to see different species. Excellent technical work and composition. I'm interested in your camera settings as I also have the D500. |

This is a very powerful image to me, reminding me of elders whose skin has withered, but whose inner beauty still shines strongly. I particularly like the diffuse lighting and large depth of field which add to the sense of deeper meaning. I'm wondering how you got your background color.
Very well done! |

I'm a newbie to this group, so I hope my comments will be helpful
BIFs are one of my favorite subjects and I love this shot. My experience is to stay above 1/1000 sec and preferably 1/2000 or higher. The speed of wing tips can be quite high even for larger birds. Higher ISOs may be needed, and the latest Nikon sensors seem to have really low noise at higher ISOs. I prefer to get the sharpness when needed and deal with whatever noise there is in post processing.
Cheers! |

Howard, one of my favorite activities...photographing birds.
I've rarely seen the female Red Winged Blackbird...very nice pic and technically excellent! The dance step adds a vitality to the image...catching motion with birds really bumps my interest up. Your comment on the 'milky' eye is interesting. While typically we might expect a sharper highlight on the eye, a reference image of this bird from the Field Museum seems to show the same effect. Given the high sharpness of the image, this milkiness may be, in fact, characteristic of the species. In this case I would trust that the camera captured what was truly there. Other factors such as the diffuseness of the light source may be in play as well. I look forward to more 'aviation' photos :-) |
