More rainbow lorikeets

[StephenM (Stephen)]

Hi all,

The lorikeets featured in this thread:

http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/s...d=1#post580384

returned this morning, and this time I had my 70-300mm telephoto lens on the camera ready. The lorikeets sat very nicely in our palm tree preening themselves and each other, but unfortunately there was very bright backlighting. I've tried to process the images to bring out detail in the birds without blowing out the background. The result is not perfect, but I thought still worth posting.

Thanks for looking!

Cheers,
Stephen

Thanks Adam. Hopefully I'll have another chance to capture them in better light.

Cheers,
