Comment | A walk along Marion Bay beach with backs to a northerly breeze yielded some good BIF opportunities with large birds flying into the wind, their groundspeed correspondingly reduced enabling easier tracking. This bird is flying quite low close to the shoreline, and the warmth in the underside whites is likely due to reflection from the buff-coloured beach sand. The brightest whites are only just holding in the strong direct sunlight, but I like the partial backlight on the far wing. | ||||||||||||||||||
Equipment | Canon EOS 5D IV EF 400 f/4 DO IS II + 1.4x TC III, at 560mm, centre spot servo AF with four expansion points Manual exposure, 1/3200 sec, f/7.1, ISO 1000 Processing: Lightroom Classic for RAW conversion and initial adjustments, then Photoshop where Neat Image was used to apply moderate noise reduction to the bird only, and a measure of blur was applied to the background to de-emphasise distracting elements. Size reduction to web submission dimensions was followed by final sharpening of the bird only using Smart Sharpen. | ||||||||||||||||||
