CommentPhotographed next to the walking track in a section dense with Acacia. I momentarily caught this bird's attention by 'pishing', resulting in it staying around for a few seconds and looking my way. The dark band on the side of the head, above the eye indicates a male (females have a rufous band).
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.
