White-Bellied blue flycatcher female (cyornis pallipes) 15 cm
Endemic bird of western ghats, India. The image was made in rocky stream in dense evergreen forest last summer.
Canon 350 D + Canon 100-400 IS, handheld
f8, iso 400, 1/15 sec, no flash, 0 EC, evaluative metering.
This bird was kind enough to remain still while the camera took long exposure (which happened due to dark BG)
The image of this extemely shy bird was made by hidling behind a rock.
I have two specific questions. The bird closeup photographs often reveal the detail feather pattern and bristles around the beak.
How to avoid the irregularity in the fine feather pattern while sharpening ?
How to work for noise reduction in BG, in the zone behind the delicate bristles, without damaging the bristles ?
Cheers !
