I was photographing a Snowy Egret and set the Exposure Compensation -2/3, just before the Ospreys came fling in and did not have time to reset it.
Thank you for stopping by.

4 commentsNeat action you captured with these young Osprey Peter, sharpness, depth of field and comp look good. There is an odd look to the background, it doesn't look like normal noise but I imagine this shot might have had some noise at iso 640 especially if it was underexposed and then brought up in post processing.
Nice job on the focus and exposure and you caught some really neat action, Peter. The light was obviously pretty harsh and the contrast in Osprey plumage doesn't make it any easier, but this looks good.
A good capture and a decent exposure of birds that are always a challenge in strong light. I agree with Nate that the background is funky. Some kind of post-processing effect?
Hi Jim & Nate
That background effect has happened a couple of time. ( a combo of lens, camera and background) At thins time I have no answers for it.
