re: RW's glacier pic: Snow and ice will tend to the bluish end of the spectrum unless you correct the White Balance manually by switching off the AWB setting on your camera or by editing for blue RGB Curves in the image-editing software you're using.



Most point-and-shoots now have a "Snow" preset, take a little of the blue edge out of highway-flanking glaciers.



Nice bird pix, Oberon.

i don't know how to do either of those things. :)



I love that owl that isn't an owl.  It's adorable!

That is not quite true.



Camera's tend to underexpose pure whites. You must compensate for this by opening up the shutter by 1 and half stops, or meter from a grey card using manual operation.



The "Snow" preset just overexposes by 1.5 stops.



Its not actually "blue" but "grey".



Thanx for the compliment.

You whites and your days of running things are numbered. The dragon is ascending and the natural order of China as the centre of the universe will soon be back.



You will love working for us.
