  • Magpie silhouette


    G'day all

    I was attracted to the extremes here - the bright-white of a cloudy sky and the dark tones of the magpie


    exif- Panny FZ-300; 1/1600s x F4,0; ISO-200; lens at 24x zoom / 600mm FFequiv

    As always, feedback welcome
    Phil

    Come on admit it you made a mistake and exposed for the sky.
    Better a full bottle in front of me
    than a full frontal lobotomy.

      Love the simplicity of the composition. I'd be tempted to drop the shadows and make it a true silhouette. I'd also be tempted to try a B&W conversion.
      Fujifilm X-T5, XF10-24MM, XF16-80 f/4, XF70-300 f/4-5.6, XF23 f/2, XF35 f/2, XF150-600 f/5.6-8, and a random assortment of 35mm and 120 film cameras.

        A good maggie shot Phil. Plenty to play with for some creative looks.

        The best way to get the right answer on the Internet is not to ask a question, but to post the wrong answer.

          To be totally honest I think that you have got yourself a Butcherbird over a Magpie here mate.
          I post what I photograph and what I post is how I like it.

            G'day fellas

            @Hans - being an old-school fella, I shoot JPG in the camera and always, shoot to the histogram in the live EVF. This means that with every shot I am using the EV+/- button to modify the hi-lights or shadows into whatever sort of image that I have in mind. ps- doesn't always work ... a crappy image is still a crappy image soon gets deleted
            Ralph - you are probably correct mate ... I don't know enough to distinguish one from another
            @David - I lightened the shadows as Isac is always on at me to lighten the damn shadows ... it was almost a silhouette ex-camera

            I might be tempted to try again
            Phil
