I find it rare to get 2-2gether you get a gold star!

Thank you very much Keeperseeker.

got my 7d2 back from the shop
and with my new siggy 17-50 2.8
it rocks

Nice ones Pat. I like the 2nd one the most.

thanks they are great models

Great photos. The cloned area did catch my eye first thing in the top image, though. It appears this is one time Lightroom may need a little help.

yeah my bad I thought I got it all
I hate powerlines
thanks

That is a brilliant attitude Peter (it is mine too by the way).

I have the highlight warning enabled and most shots blow the highlights. Is there a setting somewhere that over exposes highlights, or is it user error? Ive only rented this for the weekend. Id like to get the menu sorted before i go out shooting. Or does this camera naturally over expose?

Using tv for now. Auto aperture and ISO. Evaluative metering. Ive gone through all the menus a few times and nothing seems to be amiss

Every Canon I've owned has needed a bit of +EC and my 7DII is no exception to that, in fact most of the time my 7DII is set to +2/3 EC. I'd be surprised if the one you have is very different.
Of course, how the camera behaves depends a lot on how you operate it. If you point it at predominantly light stuff it will try to underexpose and the reverse is true if you point it at mostly dark stuff. Check you EC settings and adjust to taste.

For example, both these are jpegs straight from camera, both are at +2/3 EC, manual with auto ISO , no blown white neck feathers on the first one, no recoverable detail in the whites of the neck in the second. Exact same subject just different backgrounds

Whether you blow the highlights or not will depend on the brightness range of the scene you are capturing. If the scene has high contrast, some of the highlights will blow. This may matter, or may not matter. If you are shooting a bird backlit by a white sky, the blown sky might not matter. But if the subject is a white bird against a darker background, you will want to reduce expose to retain detail in the bird.

If the scene is drab and all parts have about the same brightness, nothing should blow out, and in fact you might want to increase the exposure ("expose to the right") for best results.

No doubt cameras will vary a bit in exposure, but I doubt by much. If low contrast scenes look OK, then your body is probably fine.
