That particular shade of purple that is so familiar in the Arctic.

While waiting on the jetty this morning we got a visit from a pair of White-tailed Sea Eagles. We saw them a few times while out on the fjord, but the light was not nearly as inspiring as this moment.

Sometimes the light is a but rubbish but we keep taking photos anyway, and sometimes those RAW files totally surprise me with how much you can extract from its murky depths. Here's a before and after of this White-tailed Sea Eagle, taken from a moving boat at ISO 3200 and the 500mm end of a telephoto zoom.

Hoping to see them again on a day when the sun is with us.

Here's the final version. Cropped and punched in to show a little detail.

I increasingly get people commenting on my youtube videos with things like "nobody wants to edit photos anymore, just get it right in camera" or something to that effect. I don't believe in shooting JPG to begin with, and fundamentally that's on the basis that RAW files have more creative potential.

This whole idea of being militant against editing photos just seems weird to me. If you don't wanna dig deep into photography then you don't have to, but why leave aggressive comments for people who are exercising a little skill and artistic pursuit?

@ewen I agree with you, RAW has more potential, but only if you have the time to develop the technique and then time to use it. I'm not sure if the "everybody does in the camera" is in the context of (semi)professional photographers, but us we mere mortals, we barely retouch :)

Seems a strange way for some folks to spend their days, ranting at professional photographers for having the temerity to edit their photos.

I usually just block them from the channel so they don't have to be offended in future.

@ewen oh, sorry, mine wasn't intended to be a rant.

Not your comment no :) I meant the folks leaving their valuable and considered opinions on my YouTubes.

Sorry for the confusion!
