Hey..were these photos underexposed in the beginning? THey look flat and looks like there isn't enough contrast and the fill light slider was used too much.

 

[sleeper3]

Actually they're slightly overexposed. I don't have a "fill light slider" in my conversion tool, but I think that adds compression, which I did add to these photos. Not sure why you think they look flat... if you look at the tone curve, it's got huge peaks at the dark and light sides... but... thanks?

I think they look great! Sharp too.

 

[sleeper3]

Thanks. I might have overdone it a bit on the sharpening, but the 55-250 has become not sharp enough for me

They look extremely over-saturated and over-sharpened to me.

Also looks like the contrast was blown up.

stupid work monitor...k..nvm LOL

I will refrain from making comments until after I get home haha.

 

[sleeper3]

haha I thought that might have been it.

and yes, they are oversaturated and overly contrasty. I guess it was an attempt to make up for a slightly overexposed photo. Birds are freaking hard to take photos of!

I agree. Just hard to look at them.

I agree. Just hard to look at them.

Glad I'm not the only one.

Yup..it was closed for repairs due to the heavy rains Rio got the week prior.

oh dang that sucks. I'll bet it could have yielded some pretty cool results at 10mm
