The better half (aka spotter-in-chief) and I decided to check on the nesting eagles on Peebles Island yesterday evening. Immediately we discovered that the nest was backlit . . . definitely not as good as the other day Superzoom strikes again . . . eagles . . . and some crazy duck (goose?) photos . . .
Here's one of the initial shots
Here's the same shot, romanced a bit with Luminar
For comparison, here's a shot from the other day, when the lighting was better
All of the shots above were taken at maximum optical zoom with Sony's iZoom engaged.
In desperation, I try full digital zoom, which can take the magnification to 200X
And here is the same shot, with some help from Luminar
Lessons learned: with the HX400V, don't go beyond iZoom, definitely watch the lighting, and Luminar can help sometimes.
Cheers, Jock
