I spotted this pair a couple of days ago and shot a couple pictures before the male flew off leaving the female to keep an eye on me while I took a few more shots.
Let's see... Sigma 120-400 handheld at 400mm, f8, spot metering.
In Photoshop I adjusted "Levels"(I usually select "auto"), "Shadows/Highlights" (mostly shadow recovery), some cropping and finally "Unsharp Mask" at (Amount 150 / Radius 1.5) and then I went back and sharpened up the eyes some more almost to the point of being grainy but not quite.
I really, really hate you! LOL
ReplyDeleteThese are great shots! The eyes are perfectly in focus. Were these taken with the Sigma? Settings please??
