Swan Park

First time down there and it was fun. Gotta figure out the exposure better.

It is really tough to photograph those white birds on a sunny day! With any type of background (swan not filling frame) I would dial in -1/3 or -2/3 exposure compensation to help from blowing out the whites and losing detail. If you have predominantly swans filling the viewfinder you may find you have to open up 1 stop or more!

The absolute best solution is to shoot there on cloudy, misty days, early morning or late evening.

Thx, I was shooting at -1 for most shots. I will have to head back there on a not so bright day. :>) I just have a point and shoot that I use the P setting on. Then edit some on elements 8.
