Today is my last "day off". Tried to capture something very peaceful and cute (like for start of the New Year!). Nothing else was able to beat the otherwise this very common (here!) hybrid (judging by the parents!) of Mallard and Hawaiian Duck! On other hand they are impossible to ID at that age (at least for me...)
Good luck and a tons of nice photos in 2023!

Yeah -in the shade it's easierAnother marsh tit
@ISv: I have tried to follow your advice. Quite simple - in the shade

. But that was not my advise (that one is suppose to work in most conditions, I mean that is suppose to control the highlights in most conditions). Nice shot anyway!Well, concerning the winter conditions: I'm shooting in Hawaii. See my post in the "mushrooms" (didn't intend to post it because I was angry for my another fail to find the birds - despite a significant push on my old body on that trail and all the sweat...). That photos are from January 1

Of course I had your advice in mind and underexposed by -1/3. And afterwards corrected that for the dark parts in pp.Yeah -in the shade it's easier
If it were in sunlight I might have gone -2/3.
I had some tricky shots of a (white) egret against a dark forrest bg in sunlight but haven't pp that yet.
We'll see what I have learned there

Great shots everyone! Been a minute since I got on here due to knee surgery but managed to capture this little Annas Hummingbird hanging out and overwintering here in the Pacific Northwest.
On another note does anyone know of any good spots to go birding in Kauai?
