90 Jun 23 Reply Hi Frans. Thank you very much for sharing Roy's article. You have a wonderful mentor in Roy. Jun 24th
90 Jun 23 Reply I added 0.2 stops of exposure and that brought the white out. Thanks again. Jun 21st
90 Jun 23 Reply Thanks for your insight LC. Much appreciated. I will try to duplicate what you have done although I don't have Capture One. I can use Camera Raw to convert it to B&W and then make similar adjustments. My only comment is that the white in the final image seems a bit too gray to me. That could be due to my monitor although I just recently color calibrated it. Jun 21st
90 Jun 23 Comment Thanks Bev. That helped it a lot. I'll try it. Jun 17th
90 Jun 23 Comment I can offer how I capture hummingbirds in flight - I find a perch they frequently use (such as near the nest or feeding area) and then focus on it with my lens set at an f-stop that provides at least 6 inches in DoF - more if the lighting will permit. That way I can capture them coming to or leaving in flight. For hummingbirds I use a shutter speed of 1/500 for wing blur and 1/4000 for no wing blur. Jun 1st
90 Jun 23 Comment Wow, that is some animal. I think you did an excellent job of the PP and combining the images. All the subject matter seems to be in good focus and the colors are amazing. Can you tell us about how large the animal is? Jun 1st
90 Jun 23 Comment Hi Ginny - I have to agree with Dan especially about the white spots. That said, it is difficult at best to shoot birds when they are in thick foliage as you have described. Jun 1st
90 Jun 23 Reply Thanks Dan. It's a difficult choice as both seem to have pros and cons. Jun 1st
90 Jun 23 Comment Good points Ginny. Thanks so much. I've submitted both versions to competitions and both have about equally done well. Jun 1st
