[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I was puzzled by the line separating black and white areas in my woodpecker photo posted yesterday.? After pondering it over night, I went back four years for another woodpecker shot made with the same camera and lens, but in mid-day overhead lighting.? A similar separating line can be observed, but it is a neutral gray and is hardly noticed.? In yesterday's late afternoon shot, the low-lying sun can be seen reflecting off bright parts of the feeder.? I believe the sun is reflecting off the line in the feathers, giving it a golden tan color.? So much for the "golden hour" always giving good pictures.
