Thanks Dave, When you say the whites are blown out does that mean the exposure's are too long how can I improve this.
I suppose your suggesting to get away from some of the auto settings and go manual and watch the histogram...am I right.
that would help
yeah when you over expose the whites (or under expose blacks) you loose all the detail in that area permantently. if you shoot for the whites and use levels and/or curves to balance the ddarker colours you will end up with more detail and a better ballanced picture.
also what metering mode did you use? changing that may also help....
i just checked your exif and youhave the exposure bias set to +1.33 which is really high. bring it down to zero and if its under exposing too much bring it up to +0.3 or +0.7 maximium....
Yeah, as David mentioned, bring down the exposure bias to get the whites balanced nicely, then using either curves or shadows/highlights balance the rest of the image to suit..
Other than that, you have yourself a very nice bit of equipment there, make sure to feed it plenty of photons to make it grow up big and strong
Great sharp focus on your images to.
Ps. I thought Mike had already banned pelican photos
... and neither is the the giggleburra or ducks, so you're not completely gone...
