    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!"

    This nesting pair was in a fenced in area in a small town we drove thru while crossing Iowa recently.

    Cool image. You got some sharp detail, and did a great job controlling the exposure. clap.gifthumb.gifthumb.gifclap.gif

    For white, if you are shooting jpegs, a little minus on contrast and -2/3 or more on exposure compensation for the capture helps me. You can always brighten the image in post if it's too dark.

    Watch those flashing highlights! Don't be afraid to go minus...the film is free!:D

    Thanks, Dave.

    In your image editor load a white bird...go to 100%...lower the contrast and see how it effects the image. Too much contrast will ruin the fine detail in the white feathers.
