CommentA record shot showing the very distinctive colouring of females of subspecies rogersi. BLP appears to have very few shots of this subspecies which is restricted to parts of the Kimberley.
EquipmentCanon 80D with EF 100-400mm Mark 2, handheld at 400mm
1/640 sec, f7.1, ISO 1600.
Initially processed in Canon DPP 4 to crop, adjust exposure and lighting and perform noise reduction. A 16 bit TIFF file was created from the RAW DPP image and finished in PSE (Adobe Photoshop Elements v9) where further noise reduction was applied to the main subject using Neat Image plugin for PSE. The background was noise reduced and the main subject sharpened after resizing for upload.
LocationWaterhole off Roe River, Kimberley, Western Australia
Keywordsfemale, adult
