Taken in the garden at home. Not a setup, just positioned myself next to some Aloes which allways attract Sunbirds. The male is a striking black bird with bright scarlet chest, hope to get some images of him some time. Female similar to Juvenile.
50D/EF500f4/f5@1/2000/iso400/EC+1. Cropped from horisontal and removed some stray grass strands. BG as shot with NR.
Hey Pieter, you have great visitors to your garden. Comp works well, and well done for timing the feeding behaviour. With shots like this, I try and shoot vertical in camera. Cool BG. Cheers.
Lovely image Peter. I also would have used the camera vertically rather then crop later. Still like the inclusion of the flower, BG and the bird feeding :)
