Description An egret flies over head en route to its evening resting place.

Loved the golden light on its wings as the sun was setting.

Taken on a day trip with =q-118

I had the exact comment in my mind when I read your description : I love the golden light on its wings. Really really love it

nice light. did you sharpen the sky? There seems to be some noise/grain/artifacts going on. Or maybe the shot was underexposed and you brought it up in RAW? it's just a little distracting, great work with the bird and the light though.

Neutron2K In reply to puffinpunk [2008-12-08 13:36:14 +0000 UTC]

i sharpened the entire image. It was shot at ISO800 thus there is slight noise. As this is only the web res image I didn't bother clening the background like I usually do

I never bring back underexposed shots unless they are only ever so slightly under. Too much noise to deal with Anything underexposed gets deleted in camera lol.

shhh, your exif says iso400 but i won't tell if you don't... haha. as long as you knew there it was there, i'm sure the print version looks good. great work.

Neutron2K In reply to puffinpunk [2008-12-08 13:45:05 +0000 UTC]

I thought that was shot at 800!

I'll have to go and look at that cos that shouldn't be there at 400 unless I slightly overboosted the midtones :S

Yeah print it should be fine - you lose a lot of noise in print.

Luck is just the thing flying over. I get a lot of practice at bird flight and action check through my gallery

glad you like it

The d300 has brilliant noise control, even at ISO800
