birds of the Aldinga wetlands

[bill jolley]

first time my health has allowed me get out in 5 months,so I ventured to my local wetlands (not much eater in them just now)
this what I found

[Toddyh]

All look sharp enough Bill but all look dark on my screen. Maybe an exposure lift.

[HansE]

Yes same here, brightness needs a boost. Must be nice to get out and about after such a spell.Hope to see you improving and showing some more soon.

[Grumpy John]

I have to agree with the previous comments regarding the exposure, just a tad on the dark side. Easy to fix in PP.
Glad to see you out and getting behind the lens again Bill, I can only imagine the frustration in being cooped up for 5 months. It's only been 2 weeks since my shoulder surgery and I'm already going stir crazy.

[avkomp]

as presented all appear dark to me also, but good to see you out and about. 5 months would have been murder.
I reckon I would have had to hire someone to wear a chicken suit or something and run around the house to get a few pix going, otherwise I would have gone crazy

[Ralph]

I get what you are going through and I am in a similar position but I am to bloody pig headed and got out and suffer for it later.
And in this time away things get a little rusty. So with in mind I think you have done an okay job.
The bigger picture to me is you getting back out over and above taking the shots.
And before you know it you will be back to your normal.

[Grumpy John]

Wise words Arthur, perhaps we were too eager to pass judgement before congratulating Bill on getting out and photographing again.
Well done Bill on having a go again.

[Isac]

I'm glad you are back out and about Bill. Nothing worse than not being able to do what you love to do. A good set of images although a bit dark but lets see what's next for you.
