3rd Place
'Lift Off' by Neil Treloar AIMS
Apparatus: Canon 1DX with 1.4 extender
This was taken on a recent trip to The North Wall at Pagham Harbour about 5 weeks ago. I was concentrating on waiting for the heron to appear at the heronarie when I turned round and saw this egret in the water. I spun the gimble head around and was fortunate to catch the egret just about to fly off. Manipulation: Cropped the image to landscape format to get the bird and the reflection in and made sure I left enough space to the left to try and show him flying out of frame. I tweaked the contrast, sharpness and clarity and with the hightlight slider made sure the whites were not burnt out. Just tweaked the exposure as well. |
