Hey Garion, thanks for the compliment. But I think that's about the "best" I managed this morning

. Due to the nature of my setup, many pics were ruined by vibration , mirror slap etc...

And sadly, one of the more interesting BSK pics I took (landing - my 1st time !) turned out to be only good enough for my new avatar

From what I can see, it looks pretty good.

Can post lar, no worries, its thru critique that we all learn and improve from.

Cheers,

Good catch. You've already gotten a very good picture there.
Imagine what you can get with the propor equipment.

Cheers ! Keep shooting.

Hi,

Thanks for your kind comments joeyao, skfoo and Harlequin. Full credit goes to my shooting buddy ccplim who alerted me of their presence when they flew in onto the perch.

Nice one Sam

On the other hand, the picture appears to be abit on the bluish size. Something wrong with the WB setting?

Hi,

Hm, I think it's due to the VR (violet reducing - reduces chromatic aberration) filter I'm experimenting with on my setup. It gives a generally yellowish appearance to all my pictures, so after some experimentation, I found that if I set the WB to fluorescent while the filter is on, it will help to even things up a little bit in the field (but the pictures will look a little bit bluish). And when I finally work on them on the PC, I would activate the auto-levelling on PS to complete the job. I think I forgot to do the auto-levelling for this one

Here is the same picture after auto-levelling :

Slightly better ?

Maybe during the next shoot I will skip the WB fluorescent part for some of the shots and see what happens when I do auto-levelling on PS.
