I used the Color Histogram to check the blue bias on the photo and equalized it's level with the R ang G Channels using the "Color Balance" Tool and came up with this image: On my supposedly "calibrated monitor" it now seems just a wee bit on the warm side - the whites are not really whites. I also noticed, using the histogram, that brightness was a bit low, so I adjusted that too. Is this okay?

Alright Ka Mastah, got it! :-) My PP Sofware (Paintshop Pro X2) does not have the sophistication of Photoshop in determining R-G-B Numbers, it does have a simple color histogram that may do the job. It's all I can afford for now (Photoshop costs 800+ USD), but I will try to adjust my PP some more. Little by little does it. :-)

Hello, I just aquired a Spyder 3 Express Monitor Calibration tool and here are the effects of the calibration. Photo 1 was uploaded to Flickr on November 13, 2010. I had not yet purchased the Calibration Tool at that time: Photo 2 was uploaded today after I calibrated my monitor: It's clear that the 1st photo is a bit too warm, while the 2nd photo achieves a nearer-to-white result. I did not boost any color or adjust sharpening in the 2nd photo. What do you see in your monitor please?

Sorry, but I'm having the lens checked by Canon first. If they can't fix the erratic focusing, I'll buy another 400mm f 5.6L. :-) oh no what happened? how did it have an erratic focusing? Well, this lens has been my workhorse for more than 7 years now. It's been through some rough times, so I guess it needs re-calibration. :-)

Goodskie, the DP Review of the 60D is out, and their findings are basically in line with my observations. The noise is quite good up to ISO 1600 and even 3200 may be usable in some cases. Please check this out: The EOS 60D was awarded the Silver Award (even the 7D was not awarded this medal by DPP)!www.dpreview.com/reviews/canoneos60d/

Nice find, Osawa san! These photos will certainly help some organization somewhere with their bird migration records! :-)

Those are very good captures, Ka Ely, however, I see much luminance noise in all the photos. Perhaps a moderate de-noising will greatly improve the quality of the photos. ISO 3200 really results in noise in most cameras, so de-noising may be an extra step to take to make the best of such captures. :-)

The color is a bit too warm in my monitor, but it's a beautiful shot, nonetheless. :-)
