I was driving today and saw this hawk (buzzard?) sitting ontop of the telephone pole. When I first saw him, his wings were stretched. I grabbed my camera and started shooting, but the pictures came out over exposed. Can they be fixed?

Hmmm. The subject was very severely backlit, so not only is the sky overexposed but the subject is severely underexposed. Unless you're looking for a silhouette, there's little to be done.

As Kirbic says, not much can be done about these.
But, just a thought. Now that you know what to look for, you may well see these beauties often on fenceposts and telephone poles. They are there more often than you think. Keep your camera handy, and keep trying to capture an image. You will get a good one, one of these days if you keep alert for them. |

The bird is a vulture. The pictures cannot be salvaged :-(

The second one isn't too bad actually, as a silhouette. If you rotated it a little so the post was vertical, fixed some of the color that's on the edges of the bird and edited out the wires on the side, it might look pretty good.

The histogram shows basically nothing there
At least it can be improved a tad from it's 7.7kb:
 
(open each and switch between them in the taskbar)
