It flew across the pond twice without warning but never landed, captured several frames by relfex action. But only this one is reasonably sharp.   Purple Heron (草鷺)   Mai Po (米埔)   3/12/2004   1D Mark II, EF600+1.4x   f/5.6, 1/800s, iso500 Logged Hendrix BBS Member BBS God I love wings!     Gender: Posts: 1001 Re: Purple Heron (草鷺) inflight « Reply #1 on: Dec 6th, 2004, 6:08pm » Quote Modify Good ,     for my teast , I will use S curver to made more brighter on it body   Logged www.look.hk welcome you me_domchan BBS Administrator I love bird watching!     Gender: Posts: 501 Re: Purple Heron (草鷺) inflight « Reply #2 on: Dec 6th, 2004, 6:32pm » Quote Modify   Interesting!   Logged Anguslau BBS Member BBS God I love bird watching!     Posts: 402 Re: Purple Heron (草鷺) inflight « Reply #3 on: Dec 6th, 2004, 6:41pm » Quote Modify Thanks for the suggestion, Hendrix. I found that I have a tendency to do less and less adjustments nowadays. Often after doing some adjustments, I am not satisfied with the color, the contrast or the overall look of the image. Agree that the image is a bit dark. But after trying several ways to increase brightness, I left it almost untouched. Perhaps my editing skills had been deterioating...

I think this does look better after applying an S curve to boost brightness and contrast. Color saturation was also increased as a side effect...   Logged KK Hui BBS Member BBS God Bird Photography - at its best ...     Posts: 940 Re: Purple Heron (草鷺) inflight « Reply #6 on: Dec 6th, 2004, 7:57pm » Quote Modify Talking about reflex, this comes from experience!!!!     A great PH shot that I'd like to have in my file too, Angus! You did justice to this shot to repost it, I like the slight increase in contrast and brightness ...     KK Hui ARPS www.geocities.com/kkhui_001 Logged Pages: 1  Reply Send Topic Print Forum Jump: ----------------------------- Announcement 簡訊通告 -----------------------------  - Membership Affair 會員事務   - Outings / Activities 戶外活動 / 講座   - Projects 項目計劃   - Crested Bulbul Club 紅耳鵯俱樂部 ----------------------------- Discussion Area 討論區 -----------------------------  - General 一般問題   - Conservation 自然保育   - Bird Identification 鳥類辨識   - Birding Reports & Tips 觀鳥報告及心得 => Photo Gallery 相片分享 I   - Photo Gallery 相片分享 II ----------------------------- Special Topics 特別主題 -----------------------------  - Wild Birds & Avian Flu 野鳥與禽流感   - Sustainable Management Scheme in Long Valley 塱原可持續生態管理計劃   - Black-faced Spoonbill 黑臉琵鷺   - Goodbye Penfold 告別彭福   - Tern Conservation 燕鷗保育   - Black-eared Kite 鳶(麻鷹)   - Swifts and Swallows 燕與雨燕   - China Birdwatching Network 中國觀鳥活動網絡   - Winter Altas Survey 冬季鳥類普查   - Nature Conservation Policy 自然保育政策 ----------------------------- Knowledge Sharing 知識分享 -----------------------------  - FAQ 常見問題   - Archive 資料重溫 « Previous topic | Next topic »
