CommentAt this time of the year, the coastal Banksias are in full bloom. There are so many flowers that they well and truly outnumber the birds taking advantage of them. The common species were these Little Wattlebirds and a lot of New Holland Honeyeaters. But there were also some Yellow-faced Honeyeaters and in the lower areas, Crescent Honeyeaters along with smaller birds such as Brown Thornbills going for the insects attracted to the flowers and vegetation.
EquipmentCanon R5 with RF 100-500mm, handheld at 500mm 1/500 sec, f/7.1, ISO 2000. 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.
