I spent the last two weeks on the East Coast (Philly, NYC, Boston) visiting friends and family. My wife gave me plenty of leash, and I used 99%
of my allotted time for pure birding, this example appearing when I ducked into a New Hampshire thicket to take a leak. It was pouring rain, but
I walked back to my car, fished out my rig, and returned to capture a few frames of this cooperative subject.
I deliberately shot through a window of foreground foliage to create the blur which surrounds the subject. This bird is a deep forest species,
and I wanted to represent depth in the shadowy habitat which it occupies. So, something a bit different from my usual, super-clean frames.
Canon 400mm f/4 IS DO II on EOS R5
1/200 at f/4 at ISO 3200
Processed in LR CC. NR in Topaz. Cloned a few distracting specular highlights. Knocked down luminosity in green channel to enhance the spotlight effect.
