Comment | It was Egret day at Goulds Lagoon on this occasion, with several birds actively feeding in the shallows at various points around the locale. This provided an opportunity to find a viewpoint to show a bird positioned against a darker background, which I've found makes the whiteness of this species really glow. This bird was very actively moving around and periodically lunging at prey, and the R5's eye-detection AF proved very helpful in locking focus on the eye as the subject moved and I experimented with composition. Late in the season this far south, but this bird still shows some remnant breeding plumes and greenish colour in the lores. | ||||||||||||||||||
Equipment | Canon EOS R5 EF 400 f/4 DO IS II + 1.4x TC III, at 560mm Manual exposure, 1/250 sec, f/7.1, ISO 400, handheld, eye-detection AF Processing: Lightroom Classic for RAW conversion and initial adjustments, then Photoshop for final adjustments and removal of a couple of the more distracting wavelet reflections. Final sharpening using Smart Sharpen was applied after size reduction to web submission dimensions. | ||||||||||||||||||
