This is down town Orlando Florida. Very overcast Sunday thought it would be easier to capture some images of the friendly Egrets on the lake. STILL I blew out the details in them. What can you do? No sun out there and on most images I am -2/6 to -1.3… Enough of the frustrations from the white birds… I did run across some other wildlife. Not trying to be cruel but it has to be a tuff sleeping directly off Interstate 4 Lake Ivanhoe ramp. It surprised me to see. MM

With an unemployment rate of over 8% and climbing I'm afraid there will be more "photo ops" like the last three.

How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
Thanks... I looked at the histogram and "blinkies" most of my images according to histogram where under exposed. This guy held his ground for a long time was able to get close with my 200mm. But the detail of the feathers I can see through my lens seems to get lost. Maybe some day! MM

With white birds what you want to do is to look for a spike (it may be real small) on the far right of the histogram. When you shoot white birds you will often get a funky looking histogram with lots of data bunched to the left. That's the background that's bunched to the left. Your main concern is your subject.
In your post work you can selectively brightne up the background and then apply NR to it. You may lose some detail that way but its the background and hopefully the viewer will be looking at your subject.
