CommentMy Mate Con Duyvestyn had heard rumour of an Australian Owlet-nightjar at the Briars in Mornington. Thanks to Con we had a good sighting of the "little beauty" catching some late afternoon sunshine. Having an AON at the Briars is regarded as a rare event.
EquipmentCanon 5D Mark iv
Canon 200-400 f4
iso 320 - 1/800 - f5.6 - 560mm - manual exposure - hand held with monopod
Initially processed in Canon DPP 4 to crop, adjust exposure and lighting and perform noise reduction on bird. A 16 bit TIFF file was created from the RAW DPP image and finished in PSE (Adobe Photoshop Elements CC) where the background was noise reduced and the main subject sharpened.
LocationThe Briars Mornington, Victoria
