Comment | Honouring the theme of the recent BLP conference of art in bird photography, I'm submitting a couple of images. This one was taken at one of the conference field sites. The sun was getting low on the horizon late in the day and there was a lot of 'muck' on the water surface to create the bokeh balls, as some call them. While not an original idea, I did like the effect, helped by the birds which are well habituated to people. | ||||||||||||||||||
Equipment | Canon R5 with RF 100-500mm, handheld at 500mm 1/2500 sec, f/7.1, ISO 1600. Initially processed in Canon DPP 4 to crop, adjust exposure and lighting. All noise reduction turned off in DPP. A 16 bit TIFF file was created from the RAW DPP image and finished in PSE (Adobe Photoshop Elements) where noise reduction was applied to the main subject(s) using Neat Image plugin for PSE. Stronger noise reduction was applied to the remainder. Main subject selected and adjustments made to lighten shadows, darken highlights and increase midtone contrast as appropriate. Inverse of main subject selected and adjustments made as appropriate to contrast, highlights, shadows and saturation to make the bird stand out more effectively. Main subject sharpened after resizing for upload. | ||||||||||||||||||
