Excellent photos Paul!  Could you please share what setting you were on?  A, P, S, M. Your ISO is different in many, and you f-stop seems to be consistent. Starting to do birding more and more so ...

There is complexity to this but if one person can learn a new technique or skill I'll mark that down as a positive. I too miss the b/w darkroom!

I couldn't agree more.  Thank you for your words and insight. I's been the last few years that I personally become more serious about learning how to USE a digital camera as apposed to back in the ...

Duly noted...thanks more info i was hoping for.  Learning so much on this topic...this is the way this board should be...an educational tool.

Overexposing as in...pushing the histo to the right by using the EC and adding more light to the shot.  (a big if, if I'm explaining this correctly) -still trying to figure out ETTR-
