Yep.
Rich, those bars on the Bully wings (male and female) are white not grey.
You can only put that right by increasing the highlights or going back to the raw files. It does seem though as though the culprit is drastically reduced contrast or that highlight slider in raw. These shots look as though they were taken in bright sunlight and should have a lot more punch. Don't be afraid of the highlights being on the edge - they'll look a lot more natural.
Shall I just sod off?
Good captures Rich but CT's edits work best for me.
Na! dont do that Ced`s I would miss you Thanks again. I have just finished calibrating my monitor and have loaded the profile into CS. I will go back to the Raw image and have another play. Interesting if nothing else to see my finished product
Great stuff -look forward to the resuts Rich.
Is that some sort of horny growth btw on the legs of that male Bully? I see this a lot in Chaffinches, but I don't recall seeing it in a Bully at all.
just wondering CT on some of my bullies the bars on the wings on some do seem to have grey feathers on them so do some have white and some have grey, have got a pic to show if rich don t mind me showing it ,see what he says
They do vary Karen - some are white, some grey and sometimes you get a bit of each. In Rich's case you can see they were white just being dulled by the reduced contrast. The whites soon get that grey veil if you drag the contrast down too much. Ive got some that are grey - taken in good light too.
Good question! The RSPB site shows a male with the bars half grrey nd half white....wonder if its anything to do with the maturity of the bird

Oh my god now Rich will be confused
Bit of a Grey area if you ask me :bang:. Well I was going to mention about the the tint of Grey in the feathers, and I was going to argue the toss with Ced`s But then I thought I like it when Cedric gets all domineering with me Interesting thought about the maturity Kaz, and I got no probs you posting a picture up either.
Its ok now Rich I just wondered because like i said some of my bullies had the grey feathers but it looks like some do and some don t, we learn something new every day on here don t we
