Comment | This species was surprisingly common along the east coast of the Eyre Peninsula. Numerous of these were seen feeding in the vegetation and flying about. The lack of blue on the face and poorly developed colours indicates a juvenile (of which we saw quite a few). I thought these birds were called Rock Parrots because of the habitat in which they fed but it's because they breed in rock crevasses and holes. | ||||||||||||||||||
Equipment | Canon R5 with RF 100-500mm, handheld at 500mm 1/2000 sec, f/7.1, ISO 800. 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. | ||||||||||||||||||
