Water Turkey/ Snake Bird Heron - B&W











The rest of my thus far favorite fowl photos. This guy in particular is a great catch for me because I have been trying to get good shots of his older counter part in this tree over the last year but he would never let me get close enough with my lens to get a good shot. This guy did a lot of squawking so I left him alone after a few shots so next time maybe he will let me get a little closer.

Question?

Can anyone explain to me why when I take a photo in RAW and then upload it into LightRoom it looks great and then when I click on it, I lose so much color and some brightness. Then I have to add it back in but it never looks exactly the same. (at least i think so) Some are worse than others. I have things set in SRGB. I thought this was universal. Is there a way to fix it so it doesn't change? its driving me banana's. Many thanks!

Hi Carl, nice bird photos. To answer your question, Lightroom does not read the Nikon RAW headers in your RAW files, so LR discards all the in-camera settings. There are some complicated work-arounds that you may want to try involving setting up camera profiles. Here's a good article that talks about the subject: http://photographylife.com/how-to-get-accurate-nikon-colors-in-lightroom

Alternatively, you can:

1) use Nikon software to do your RAW file conversions.
2) shoot jpeg files
3) do not use in-camera color settings/adjustments, and do all your adjustments in LR (this is what I do for my Nikon RAW files).

Florida Regulars










Nikon D7000 Nikkor 55-300mm + Lightroom

I always take a look at the pond in my back yard before running inside. The past couple weeks have been busy with activity. The Snake Bird is a new regular and the Iguana is the first one I have seen this far north in a long time.

Who needs a zoo, when you have a backyard like yours. I like your choice of B and W for the bird image Carl.

Admiring the beauty and strangeness of the bird in b&w.... The branches that support him seem to have a delicate strength in movement. Transitioning. Very nice.

Nice photo of the bird in B and W. You should post a couple of the other pictures that you took of this bird.

Thanks!!! I really love the way the B&W turned out and am very pleased to see others do as well. And yes the branches in my mind add so much character and depth to the photo.

Ok, Dolph I will post the rest of them I finished after this post.

*Dan* I was thinking the same thing the other day. I really love the few lakes i have around here. They are full of life.

Ditto for me, I wish I had a backyard with exotic wildlife like that :)

Nice ones, Carl. I have some pictures of the Snakebirds (Anhinga) that I took during a trip to the Everglades with Dolph.
