Comment | We have a lot of photos of this species on BLP but not a lot (if any) showing one in aggressive/defensive mode. Notice the raised crown and overall bad-hair look which was the result of being repeatedly dive-bombed by a Noisy Miner. The Miner was just out of the frame in this shot. I did get some shots with the Noisy Miner and the Heron but all with the Miner in front of the Herons' head. The Noisy Miner just seemed to be harassing the Heron because it could. | ||||||||||||||||||
Equipment | Canon 80D with EF 100-400mm Mark 2, handheld at 400mm 1/3200 sec, f6.3, ISO 800. Initially processed in Canon DPP 4 to crop, adjust exposure and lighting and perform noise reduction (at about 50% of default values). 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(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. | ||||||||||||||||||
