I INTEND to take in the bird feeder each night, but forget sometimes. In the past raccoosn have raided in the wee hours of the morning, but this one comes just before the sun starts rising. I learned not to use minus exposure compensation. In lightening the images, which were too dark, I created more noise than I would have preferred. '
I didn't apply any noise reduction because it removes too much detail. Next time my exposure compensation will be zero. The auto white balance looked too blue to me (60 watt incandescent floods on porch + a very little bit of daylight). In Adobe Camera Raw I set the color temperature to 3850 for all images. That looked right to me. Lens was the Olympus 45mm f/1.8
