CommentI have been 'sitting' on this for a while waiting for the new creative gallery to appear. This image involved very little manipulation - I've simply applied the crosshatch filter in Photoshop Elements to a crop of this bronzewing. My aim was to create a softer, more painting-like effect as the think this part of the bronzewing reminds me a bit of impressionist paintings. The bird turned up on my birdbath exactly 12 months from the date I've uploaded it.
EquipmentCanon 700DD with EF 100-400mm Mark 2, handheld at 400mm
1/60 sec, f 8, ISO 800.
Initially processed in Canon DPP 4 to crop, adjust exposure and lighting and perform noise reduction. A 16 bit TIFF file was created from the RAW DPP image and finished in PSE (Adobe Photoshop Elements v9) as described.
LocationKambah, Australian Capital Territory
