I spent time on the dock at the cottage Sunday morning, hoping for some wildlife action. I anticipated some birds flying over so I had the camera set for BIF with some positive exposure comp dialled in. After an hour of nothing happening I decided to leave. I had gone about 30 feet when something made me turn around, and that's when this GBH came flying past at eye level. I fired away and got a few shots that were seriously overexposed. I was pleasantly surprised to have been able to pull back the blown highlights.

That bird waited all that time for you to leave and you still got a shot? Looks like you were able to fully correct the over exposure. Any version of auto exposure for BIF is just a bad idea unless you can be 100 percent sure of the BG.

Nicely done. Nothing brings wildlife up close for me like packing up and heading out to leave

Nice one, Koos, I like the way the brown patches show on the elbows and shoulders.

Thanks, Callie. Makes one think of the jackets with the elbow patches the old professors used to wear....
