CommentWhilst photographing the adult Cassowary at the Daintree NP, I noticed slight movement to my left and there was this juvenile Cassowary looking slightly bewildered. I managed 3 photographs of it until it followed the adult bird into the deep rainforest. A real bonus to our Daintree trip
EquipmentCanon 5Ds
Canon 100mm f2.8 macro
iso 200 - 1/200 - f5.6 - 100mm - manual exposure - hand held with monopod - Flash fired -ETTL
Initially processed in Canon DPP 4 to crop, adjust exposure and lighting and perform noise reduction on bird. A 16 bit TIFF file was created from the RAW DPP image and finished in PSE (Adobe Photoshop Elements CC) where the background was noise reduced and the main subject sharpened.
LocationDaintree NP, Queensland
