CommentRock Parrots were quite common in this area. I've submitted this one to show the extensive blue areas on the unfolded wings that are mostly hidden when the wings are closed (the bird was about to take off). As there is little or no blue around the lower part of the eye, I think these are both females.
EquipmentCanon R5 with RF 100-500mm, handheld at 500mm 1/4000 sec, f/7.1, ISO 1250. 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.
LocationLincoln National Park, South Australia
