siskins - what went wrong?
these all came out the same - now, bleaching the skies etc badly isn't usually something I do... so i'm mystified as to what went wrong. These were all taken on a pretty grim day - and all at 400-500mm.
the worst thing is that they look kind of smudgy - like they have no detail - just made of blocks of colour - cant really explain what i mean
but the beaks show it best i think.
any thoughts? tips? suggestions?

1/200 on the end of 500mm will never work! You need a much faster shutter speed than that even if you crank the iso up

What focal length were you shooting at and were you shooting hand held? It looks like the speed may have contributed to your problem.

Had a little play with your first photo as a try look see now deleted. Can I suggest you also have a play with turning the photo into black/white. At least that way the white won't appear to be blown. Just a thought.
