CommentThe bird had just been drinking from a dead branch protruding from a dam. I was waiting for it to take off in the hope of capturing a flight shot - after many other failed attempts at getting a shot of this species on the wing. Luckily this time I was able to track the bird well enough. This was the only frame in good focus from the burst - and with the bonus of the wings in a nice position. Persistence paid off with a good pinch of luck thrown in.
EquipmentCanon 80D with EF 100-400mm Mark 2, handheld at 400mm
1/2500 sec, f7.1, ISO 1000.
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) where further noise reduction was applied to the main subject using Neat Image plugin for PSE. The background was noise reduced and the main subject sharpened.
