Hi you'll,

We have another Little Blue Heron but thus one is a juvenile and that's why he isn't blue yet.
It was taken with my D100 and the 300mm/f4 lens with the 1.4 TC. ISO 200, aperture priority, ev adjustment -1.3, aperture f5.6 at 1250 sec, focal length 420mm.

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!"

    and the non bird pic
    This one is part of Florida living. Not really but its part of the Behret's in Florida living. My honey is a 50's fanatic. She believes civilization (at least the music) peaked in the 50's. She has always wanted a Bubbler Juke Box. I've been looking for some time for one and I finally won an E-Bay auction for one. It was delivered on Tuesday.

    I've been mulling your exposure data you presented Harry. Sunlit subject right? Daylight exposure - Rule of Sunny 16 - f16 at 1/ISO. You shot ISO 200 - so f16/ 1/200 - sounds like it should be correct for a sunlit object. But you actually shot at f5.6 ( is that actual or corrected for the TC??) - 3 stops more exposure than sunny 16 would suggest - not sure I understand the logic here. Your exposure is great, but what is wrong with the Sunny 16 rule here?

    I know that very white objects like snow or egrets require 1-2 stops more exposure than a lens based exposure meter usually suggests, but Sunny 16 should not be fooled like an exposure meter should it? rolleyes1.gif

    Hey PF,

    When I shoot I'm in aperture priority mode and I make ev adjustments. In this pic I started out at -0.7 ev and when I aw the histogram and the blinkies flashing I upped the ev adj to -1.3 which produced a histogram w/o any blown out highlights. The subject was not in bright sun but in partial shade from the reeds in the background.

    Hey Ann,

    It was a struggle but its home safe and sound. Can I cook? Heck I do just about all the cooking. I'm a better cook than photographer. I'm cooking the burgers and Linda's putting on her poodle skirt.

    Hey John,

    It didn't arrive all that safe but I was able to get inside and fix some minor damage but it now bubbles away and plays music. Linda is getting peeved because she's running out of quarters. I figure to use the profits to buy some new glass rolleyes1.gif

    Hey Jeff,

    Glad you liked the shot. Here's a site I got from Steve that has a good explanation of the "Sunny f/16" rule. http://www.fredparker.com/ultexp1.htm

    I'm still pondering what to do with my growing collection of bird shots.
