CommentThis bird was foraging in vine thicket on the edge of our camp, next to a creek. I had initially thought it might be a Lemon-bellied Flycatcher but have concluded it is a Fairy Gerygone due to the red iris, white around the eye and faint white patch in front of the eye and below (not clearly apparent in this shot but in another shot I took of the same bird). Faint facial markings consistent with this being a female.
EquipmentCanon 80D with EF 100-400mm Mark 2, handheld at 400mm 1/400 sec, f/7.1, ISO 1600. Initially processed in Canon DPP 4 to crop, adjust exposure and lighting. All noise reduction turned off in DPP. A 16 bit TIFF file was created from the RAW DPP image and finished in PSE (Adobe Photoshop Elements v9) where noise reduction was applied to the main subject(s) using Neat Image plugin for PSE. Stronger noise reduction was applied to the remainder. Main subject selected and adjustments made to lighten shadows, darken highlights and increase midtone contrast as appropriate. Inverse of main subject selected and adjustments made as appropriate to contrast, highlights, shadows and saturation to make the bird stand out more effectively. Main subject sharpened after resizing for upload.
LocationBasin Hole camp, Rinyirru (Lakefield) National Park, Queensland
