CommentGetting the best angle on this tolerant bird meant relatively close proximity limited by a steep dropaway just behind my position, resulting in tight framing with good feather detail. I was happy with the final image, as the natural gradient in the background and the warm light on the subject combined to give the atmosphere of a traditional formal portrait.
EquipmentCanon EOS 5D IV EF 400 f/4 DO IS II + 1.4x TC III, at 560mm, centre spot servo AF, handheld Manual exposure, 1/1250 sec, f/7.1, ISO 800 Processing: Lightroom Classic for RAW conversion and initial adjustments, then Photoshop with Neat Image plugin for noise reduction. Final sharpening after size reduction to competition submission dimensions.
LocationWaterworks Reserve, Hobart, southern Tasmania, Tasmania
