My missing Osprey found after 3 days

They were across the water about 100 yards away in a tree eating fish. Only the 3rd or 4th day the baby bird has flown :clap

Good captures I would have tried to a faster exposure on the first two shots to try to avoid the blown out spots on the osprey's neck. Ospreys are a tough expsoure with the white and dark coloring. Sometimes you can't avoid some OE on the white of you want to retain detail on the darker areas.

Great series, well done!

Try to put some time in reading the histogram.

Thanks for sharing.

I agree they're a tough bird to get all the detail on, I have issues blowing out the white on the top of their heads. I still think you have some great captures, especially where they're looking straight down the lens at you.
