Hi Macro...

The E-500 does not take 3 different photos (unless you're using braketing) that would only under expose and over expose -/+3 the shots.

I wish it did that!

Ahhh! Thanks to everyone for the comments and votes. I must tell you, embarrassingly enough... this photo was taken through the dirty windshield of my car. I first flew by him going aprox 90 km/hr. At first I thought it was a hawk because we have plenty of them around. When I passed by him I realized his face was flat and those stripes! AMAZING! So I had to litterally slam on the brakes and throw it into reverse to go back to him. As you can see, he was just as curious as I was!

I had been out earlier in the day taking b&w's of the kids playing in the snow and truly did not have the time to do much more than a quick metering, then made sure I got atleast 1 photo of him before he flew off. So, it's originally taken in b&w - no fixing that ;P

The catchlights in his eyes are from my headlights (LOL) it was dusk at this point. After shooting this photo I attempted to exit the car - but he flew away.

As for cropping... it works too. When I sent him out to my friends the next morning I did have the right side cropped. Being the rebel I am... I decided to throw out the rule of thirds for this one! He is, "the centre of attention"......

I'm completely hooked now... I MUST GET OUT AND FIND ANOTHER!

Thanks again =)
