| Comment | Female in foreground in this shot. Much to my surprise, I found a pair of these ducks (technically, I understand they are actually ducks, not geese) that were well habituated to people. My experience every other time I've seen them is that they are very flighty and unapproachable. There were at least half a dozen people on the boardwalk next to the water, chatting away and looking around while this pair went about their business without concern, sometimes swimming to with 6 or 7 metres of the boardwalk. They preened, fed and swam about without apparent concern. | ||||||||||||||||||
| Equipment | Canon R5 with RF 100-500mm, handheld at 500mm 1/2000 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) 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. | ||||||||||||||||||
