CommentAfter many unsuccessful attempts photographing this species, this bird appeared in some parkland just outside the caravan park we were staying at in Cairns. I grabbed my camera hoping it wouldn't fly off. Perhaps being in a busy urban environment made it less flighty around people. And this was literally an hour or so before we flew out of Cairns.
EquipmentCanon 80D with 100-400mm handheld at 400mm
1/1600 sec, f 8, ISO 1600.
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.
LocationManoora, Cairns, Queensland
