The only time I get to go shooting this weekend and I head straight for the old faithfull pelican spots. I love these big guys :lust .

I think my 70-200 f/4 shots are a little warm straight out of the camera as I have to tweak my levels on all my shots. Is this a normal thing????

    They look about right re warmth mate. They are good shots...i love shooting pelicans. Are you using CS2 ? Assuming you are shooting RAW.

    Thanks gang.

    Gus, Yes I have CS2, No I'm not shooting RAW. I would if I had available hard drive space. My computer is 5 years old with a measley 128mb ram and 10GB hdd. I only have about 2GB of space left on the drive and a wife who won't allow me to upgrade as she thinks it a waste. umph.gif I have talked her into getting me an external hard drive for Xmas as it will keep the kids from stuffing with my photos but that's as close as I can get for now. She thinks the $3200 on the new camera was more than enough.
