    I especially liked your before/after sequence in Lightroom. It's good to have examples of "what I did to improve the photo", rather than just show the end result. Thanks for the great content.

    As a remote sensing scientist, from a scientific perspective there are additive primary colors Red, Green, Blue which is what most digital camera sensors detect, and subtractive primary colors Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black which are pigments most color printers use. The primary colors of Red, Green, Blue at 8-bit radiometirc resolution can store 16.7 million color values in a digital image. The primary colors as light wavelengths are blue peaking at 450nm, green peaking at 550nm, red peaking at 650 nm. Pigments subtract out or absorb incoming white light. For example a yellow pigment absorbs the blue, reflecting back red and green light which humans perceive as yellow, a cyan pigment absorbs the red, reflecting back blue and green light which humans perceive as cyan, a magneta pigment absorbs the green reflecting back red and blue light which humans perceive as magenta.

    It was a really different experience photographing with these three factors in mind, very rewarding. Thanks Tim. The colour theory is going to take a bit more work until it becomes second nature, but hopefully we’ll get there.

    Very enjoyable, Tim... I actually went into my bird photos to check their 'acceptability' level.. This series was very good. What were your settings for your shot at 3;53? I love that silhouette look in bird photography. I think I saw it in one of your previous videos. Thanks so much..

    Sorry, I thought I answered this earlier, the images was at 1/40 of a second at f/8. I have a few images that look like this, but yes, I could have used it earlier. Thanks for asking, commenting and watching! Tim

    Hey Tim, that was an awesome series! thank you for that! i have a question though: ive seen lots of pictures of birds with a black background. and by pure luck i was able to do some myself, because the stars kinda aligned.. well at least the sun and the rocks and the bird did.. (i was atop of the bird, he got lit by the sun, the background (ocean) was in the shadow of the rock, so it was really dark) is there a way, to get a really dark background, while taking a photo of a bird sitting on a perch or a nest or something? I've seen some videos with a flash and closed apertures and so on, but i'd like to do it without using flash.. is that even possible?

    Yes you could use a flash and if the background is further away then the light from the flash travels, it will "fall off" and you would get a black background. Most of the time I get a dark background it's because I got lucky or was in the right place at the right time.
