[Herons] Black-crowned Night Heron

Black-crowned Night Heron

Firstly, my apologizes for posting so many Black-crowned Night Heron shots, Neil threatened to have me banned from the Lamma Ferry if I posted any more. :shock:

But this is a special "full frame" shot for all those long lens DSLR uses especially John H. who carry all that "heavy" gear around.

Digiscoped with a Swarovski ATS 80HD scope, 45x eyepiece, fixed DCA & Nikon 8400 camera

So when does Neil become the Lamma police?!  :
A great head shot, Bob! A slight head turn would work wonder ...
I see you're now on top of the NOISE problem.  :wink:

KK,

Thanks for the comments, yes the noise is no longer a problem Shooting in RAW solved a lot of the noise problems and noise software the rest. Unfortunately my beta noise software strips away the EXIF data, so I may move to Neat Image suggested by Wing. I am still using Apples free iPhoto to import the RAW files and minimal tweaking in photoshop CS.

Regarding the "policeman" Neil, well I owe all my thanks to him for introducing Lamma spots to me and all his tutor work in digiscoping. It is now just 18 months since I first started in this new hobby
