Egret at sunset.

Took this at lovers key state park last week. I usually have trouble getting details in the feathers but I think it being sunset and the light softer than the usual daytime shots helped.

nice shot bonefish. have u tried sharpening a bit, that also helps with feather detail

When exposing for bright white, compensate between -1/3 and -1, depending on light itensity. I also suggest you shoot raw if you're not already doing so. At the conversion to jpeg, you can adjust exposure, brightness and other levels to recover lost detail, contrast and saturation. Hope this help. Nice shot btw.

Nice pic. I missed this one the first time around.

Very nice. I have the same problems with white exposures. Thanks for the tip, Canonloader. For some reason I have yet to shoot RAW--I guess I am afraid. :{

I was in the same boat as you are not too long ago. While it eats more memory, the flexibility of a raw file is well worht it. Try it just for kicks and let us know the result.
