Comment | While I was laying on the banks of Bibra Lake shooting ducks, one of two Swans right in front of me moved out of a shadow into the late afternoon light and started feeding. Each time as it pulled his head up from underwater, it would cascade down his head and beak, so I turned my attention to getting a shot of the water connecting his beak to the spot where he had been submerged. The light was perfect and I got several great shots, but this close-up was my favourite with the water splash and the small droplets on his feathers glistening like diamonds over the swan's head. Taken with a 1.4x extender and manual exposure set at F/9, 1/2000 and ISO 640, and post processed using DPP4, PSE and Neat Image. | ||||||||||||||||||
