Great images and composition. Trying to learn - the images with the black/dark background - do you underexpose to avoid highlights.
Thanks!! White birds are overexposed in most situations (-1.5 stop) and add another stop when sun hit them early morning or late afternoon from a very low angle.
Most of the surrounding areas will be under dark shadows. I just dial in the setting most of the time (manually) in those situations but underexposing by 2 to 3 stop will work here.
