DARK COLORED SUBJECT

I metered on this bird, an Asian Koel, and over-exposed by +1EV so that I can get the details of the feathers. I was quite pleased with the resulting exposure. It is difficult to shoot birds(or any subjects) that are completely dark in color and we often end up only with an outline and a completely black body. I normally over-expose the image to counter that, and yet, not often am I very successful in getting a good image.



Exif: Canon EOS 350D, 100-400L at 400mm, f/5.6, 1/90sec, ISO 200, +1EV
