    Little Egret in Flight

    An easy target really as they fly fairly slowly in a straight line, but worth taking all the same even if only for the yellow feet!

    Apart from a bit of detail in the whites, the mark of a good egret shot is a good yellow in the eye and feet so

        yep good shot and good balance without blowing out whites or shadows. perhaps a bit of selective n/r on the shadows might have helped a tad

            Don't know what you guys call them, but over here that is a Snowy Egret.

              A nice shot. To get the whites right with these Egrets is always a "job". Have you tried reducing the "brightness" a bit and that should bring out the feather details better.

                    Another thing I've found is that Canon's RAW converter, Digital Photo Professional, can do a better job of maintaining detail in "extreme right" highlights, than Adobe's ACR. In fact, I've found DPP to do such a good job with highlight detail that I've on occasion done after-the-fact bracketing, by converting a RAW file once for the highlights and then again for shadows. Finally I combine the two converted files in Photoshop.

                    I first heard about the superior conversion capabilities of DPP from a lady who ran the lab for a local professional. I tried it on a couple of files that I thought had blown out highlights and was surprised to see feathers come back from what looked at first to be just pure white. DPP is a Canon product included with every Canon DSLR. Be sure to check online for updates, though, as they are frequent.
