GREENGRASS Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 Cracking set Doc. To get the reflection in the shot also. You will have to move the point of focus within the camera in the view finder. Remember rule of thirds when framing. Focus on the eye Spot meter Shoot in bursts of 3 to 4. If possible you want the sun low and behind you to light the eye. Check the histogram between shots for blowing the high lights Adjust the exposure to get the whites right. Shoot with lowest f stop and as low as you can go with the ISO. Shoot in RAW Auto white balance. Try to shoot against a dark background. Attempt to get some distance between the bird and the background for good DOF. If you are not after the reflection get down flat and shoot straight over the top of the water. Apologies if I have gone over references you already have knowledge of. Regards GG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
