p.1 #1 · BIF C&C and PP help


Here's a photo of some lesser yellowlegs in flight I recently took. I feel something's wrong with it (too dark) and I'd like both some C&C, as well as any PP suggestions you might have.

Thanks!

My steps:
1. Used the auto tone adjustment - sometimes it works, so I'll start with it and see.
2. Converted to B&W.
3. Cropped.

It's a 100-400L IS lens. It was shot on a cloudy day from a moving vehicle (an airboat).

Karen - thanks for posting those steps, it's simply amazing what changes can be made to rescue such a photo. I too strugle with BIF, using the 100-400 lens, mostly with getting the darn AF point in the right place to begin with!

Thanks, Jo. I'm not a PS expert by any stretch of the imagination, and it's always better to start with strong images, but with some effort PS can mine an amazing amount of photo goodness from what might otherwise be disappointing images.
