Home Forums Gear Photography Some birds during the last moose season

Grouse:







And a 4-legged one


Camera and lens: Canon 7D, and 400mm L

Nice shots. On the first two birds, did that lighting just happen or did one do some Photoshopping?

That's just morning sunlight between the trees. That's why the birds look so bright. In fact, I had to reduce the amount of exposure on the birds using PhotoShop. But the other bird on the trail is in the shade.

Now, while daylight illuminates the subject, there is a great deal of sunlight in the background.

Good job and thanks. Lately Cookie has been playing with under exposure bias with the local swans. Seems to help a little more texture and detail come out with all that white. Birds have been a little far out though, so we've not put any up. She needs to get her popup blind out and scoot in early for some closeups

Nice photo's of the grouse!

Excellent captures!
