Nature How To Ruin A Shot

How To Ruin A Shot · 11:00 AM

Wow, when I screw up I really screw up! I went to see the ospreys in Yellowstone yesterday with a K-3, K 400mm f/5.6, and my new to me Kenko 1.5x TC. Nice and sharp! Only problem is I was 3-4 stops underexposed. Yikes! Be that a lesson to me!

You should be able to pull most of that back in PP, I would have thought.

No you misunderstand, I was just making a general comment, not in any way reflecting on these two images.

I have been there myself but I "chimped" at the time and managed to pick up my mistake while still at the shoot.

Oh dear! Well, as you said, it's a learning experience as I would say to my class of 9 and ten year olds!

Impressed you still worked on them in PP. I still like the first one though, even with all the noise and grain and stuff - shadows and light play nicely together, colours are vibrant.
