Juvenile birds

Trev4 · 8 Jul 2010

A few visitors to my garden today, Have been changing the way I process these pics, any comments are welcome.

1) Juvenile Robin (I think)

2) Juvenile Blackbird. This was taken through tinted double glazing so I know the colours are not accurate and I have lost some detail.

3) Juvenile Sparrow, taken looking under some bushes where the light was contrasty.

Thanks for looking

C & C Welcome

First one is great Trev some great detail, like you said the second took through a window and you can tell this, the third is a decent shot considering the conditions

Thanks Dan, the second 2 werent under ideal conditions but I was pleased with the robin. I bought a Canon 500mm f/4 lens and to be honest am loving it especially with the 7D. I'm unable to get out and about too well just now so am hanging out to use the lens in anger, thats why I have posted some shots from my garden recently. Hopefully within the next couple of weeks I'll be out and about again.

Cheers Karen, thats appreciated. While I had time on my hands I tried using ACR instead of DPP to process the RAW images. These were done with ACR and TBH I dont feel its a patch on DPP.

Robin shot is excellent, the other two are a bit on the soft side.

Thanks, I agree about the second two and wonder about the wisdom of posting them, they werent taken under ideal conditions TBH but thats no excuse

Trev that second shot is superb considering conditions,what did you use to clean the glass (lol)just joking,the first is a real nice bit of processing,but my fav is the third for it's composition.
