I was headed to Alexandria on Friday, and of course I had my camera with. I drove by a couple of these Great Egrets fishing in this swampy area. he appears to be catching a fish, but there is no lake or stream close to this spot. Did it rain minnows here? Maybe it's something else.

I was sure glad I shot raw plus jpeg. When I checked the histo at the time, everything looked good. When I viewed the jpegs on my PC, they all had blown highlights. I put the card back in the camera and put my reading glasses on. Then I could see the small bit of white in the lower right hand corner of the histo, in each shot. Putting the glasses on is such a pain, but definitely a good idea. Thankfully, I was able to recover the highlights in raw.

Very nice work, Mike. Excellent light and environment.

If your PP program has Photoshop's shadow/highlight feature, you can use the magic wand to select blown highlights in a JPEG and recover detail that way. It doesn't recover as many blown whites as the RAW preview screen, but it will bring back some. Or if you upgrade to CS3, the RAW preview screen is also a JPEG preview screen.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
