hawk hovering (pics)

A similar story was recorded in the Pensacola area about that same time. I can't find the article; but, clearly remember the owner reporting that she was walking her dog on a leash. She was returning home and about to enter the front door when she found herself in a tug-of war with a large bird. She managed to use to door to free her pup.

She believed it was a hawk; but, we also have abundant osprey.

Again, Daniella, superior pics!

The head in the first image looks hard like plastic (I know, it's weird) and not soft or feathery (maybe it's the way it's sharpened.....any noise reduction to that part of the head?). I'm viewing on a CRT BTW. I'm only mentioning this because that's what I notice on my monitor.

I just took a look at your cormorant shots and they look great. I like how sharp and clean the images are and the way their eyes are lit up in that beautiful colour. I will comment further later as I'm about to head out (another sunny day today....kind of makes up for a cruddy week weather-wise).

Hi again. Yes my CS2 color space is RGB. I use firefox browser so I tried the comparison again with IE. Once again the colors are less saturated compared to the picture in Windows Picture Viewer or CS2. I had someone else look at this (on my PC) and they can see the diffference also. Is it my computer? I am working with a brand new Dell.

Hi Daniella. These are incredible shots. I wish I could get this
close to a RTH.

Here is my question- if I was to save one of your pictures from
your post and open it with Windows Picture & Fax Viewer or CS2 the
colors appear to be more vibrant. CS2 shows the color space as
uncalibrated. Is it that web color space doesn't handle
uncalibrated correctly or is my eyesight playing tricks on me?

wow, good question. I had no idea. strange that it it like that
because I shot these in .jpg (most of them) with in-camera color
space to sRGB, processed them normaly in PSCS2 and when I opened
them it did not ask me to convert the profile and my working
profile is sRGB too..

so that's wierd.

on my end, they look the same in PSCS2 as they look on the web.

what is your working profile in Photoshop? Adobe RGB?

My sister just picked up a Widescreen Dell computer and she also had some issues with IE displaying pictures incorrectly or differently then everywhere else. I think the regular fax/image viewer uses the IE engine so it will look the same there.

What I did to fix it was follow these directions:

.Regestry fix.Click start then run type in regedit click ok or hit enter Click the + on the following below .When you get to Main double click on it on the right side almost at the bottom and locate USEHR=dword:00000001 double click on it a box will pop up in the top left of your screen change the value to 0 click ok clic on all the - to collapse all then exit regestry and restart.

+HKEY_CURRENT_USER
+ Software
+ Microsoft
+ Internet explorer
Double Click Main
Double Click USEHR = dword:00000001

Change value to 0

THis worked for her but you may not have the same problem...just thought it was strange since you also had a dell.

HOpe that helps

can't say that I see that on mine and I use a Dell Inspiron 1705, but not with a glossy screen, with a matte screen.

the glossy screen enhance the contrast..maybe that makes a difference.

no noise reduction but it was resized by a lot.

CRT is probably the reason because I did not sharpen it by a lot since I started using a LCD.

These are all really nice, D, and the first one is my favorite --
terrific, with the full spread and the head angle. Tack sharp, and
superb exposure. I have to start using manual exposure for this
kind of shot. I would compensate one stop off evaluative metering,
but that would be a guess -- why not get it right?

I am using M exposure more and more. it's really much easier and usualy a "fit all" exposure will fit a lot of situations. Once I had set the exposure for the bird, it was still ok for it in flight too because there was no light from the to and the light was even.

setting M exposure in overcast day is very easy because the light does not change a lot, unless you go from open area to deep woods or something like that.

Daniella, I had the same issue when I started posting images online. They were in Adobe RGB. Someone over at naturephotographers.net pointed it out to me. I thought maybe yours were from the same color space but they said uncalibrated. At least you can script the conversions in CS2.

Take care

I just checked the .jpg and they are in Adoby RGB while the RAW are
in sRGB..so I will convert them to sRGB.

thanks for noticing this.
