I just have the hardest time getting the proper exposure on backlit subjects. Thought I would show a little before and after of over & under exposed. Lucky for me the hawk stayed perched so I could try the different exposures. Last 2 photos are unedited. 3rd one is only +1/3rd stop compensation and the 4th is +2 stops.

They actually brought them back a few weeks ago but I was to busy to go look at them. If you can watch on a bigger screen you can see how fast they fly off on the wider shots. I just thought it was pretty cool. 🙂
Last time we only had 6 pallets here and they brought 9 this time. They will be here for the spring and some summer then off to Cali for the almond crops.
This is a little sunrise shot I took of my backyard and lean-to barn. I am an amature photographer mainly of birds and wildlife. I am here to share my photography and I hope you join me in my adventure.
I wonder if this Lil Lady Kestrel is same one that comes back every year. No matter, I still enjoy their visits.
