Thanks all for the warm welcome and encouragement, quite unexpected. It's cool to know what I saw and captured is pleasing to others and maybe I'm on the right track. Your comments really gave my day a boost ! You can call me Ned

Snydremark my very own Lightrules moment More info | Jan 16, 2014 10:19 | #12 That's a great first post; welcome to the nut house!  Getting the exposure correct, especially with this much white in the image is one of the toughest things to get down with photography. Watch the histogram for your image and if you have a scene like this, where the right edge doesn't go all the way across, you'll want to increase your exposure a bit until it does. - Eric S.: My Birds/Wildlife

The shot is about 3/4 of a stop underexposed, which is not unexpected if you're just getting started.

Watch the histogram for your image and if you have a scene like this, where the right edge doesn't go all the way across, you'll want to increase your exposure a bit until it does.  heh, heh, heh..... kidding of course.When I was looking at it I thought it was overexposed and wished it had the rich colors, contrast and definition that you achieve and I thought it needed to be less bright to achieve that ? I'm a little ashamed to admit I don't know what 3/4 of a stop means, or how to get there, I'll crack the books tonight... Should I have the little histogram thing showing in the view finder ? Thanks for your comments and interest TW (PS: Hey...... maybe this part of the "frustration" trmwf - Mike mentioned below your post ? )  You can call me Ned

Loxley Senior Member  More info | Jan 16, 2014 17:07 | #15 Great shot! I agree with Snydremark on the exposure. Easy fix though! itw wrote in post #16611206 I'm a little ashamed to admit I don't know what 3/4 of a stop means, or how to get there, I'll crack the books tonight... Should I have the little histogram thing showing in the view finder ? I always have the histo showing. I actually look at it more than I do the image when checking the LCD, especially if I'm in bright sunlight it's easier to see the histo than try and eyeball the image. In LR I can almost edit an image and correct for exposure/contrast just by the histogram. It would benefit you much to learn to read/use it Patrick
