These birds don't come in too often (and we don't want them to start chewing on the house), but they are very beautiful. I find it hard to get the right exposure because the white shines in the sunlight.

Excellent pics birdgirl, sharp images.
awesome capture birdgirl of these beautiful birds! and nice colors too.....you can underexpose your settings a bit if it's too bright :)
birdgirl, i tried to adjust the highlights at photo#2, may i post it here or i'll send it to you thru email?? :)
Thanks Raoul.
Thanks aa for taking the time to do that. Please post here with a comment on what you did because it will help others too. Did you see my pic of the rosella visiting the galah box today?
p.s. I forgot to say before that I don't know how to use photoshop yet (except to resize my photos)
yeah ok, even me is just starting to learn adjusting things and it's really hard to get the right exposures on white and black birds especially when the sun is up....
i adjusted the highlights a bit that gives the feathers some details :)
but the best way really is adjusting the exposures when shooting :)
Thanks aa - that really gives a lot more feather detail, without losing the yellow cheeks. On one hand I love really sharp photos but on the other hand the birds looked bright white in real life.
that's true, you capture it how you see it :)
