CommentOne advantage of living in Canberra - the bush capital as it's known - is the reserve system interspersed with surburbia. As such we get quite a wide selection of bird life especially on the urban fringe. Even though I'd normally avoid man-made objects in my photos, I thought this would make an interesting shot, taken in a reserve just a short walk from home - my extended 'backyard'.
EquipmentCanon 700D with EF 100-400mm Mark 1, handheld at 400mm
1/1250 sec, f8, 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) 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 after resizing for upload.
LocationUrambi Hills Reserve, Australian Capital Territory
