Amazing. The first one seems to need a little contrast correction as viewed. last one seems best. Exif info always nice to see to learn from others. Thanks for sharing though.

What a lovely bird - and good shots.

It is an illusion that photos are made with the camera… they are made with the eye, heart and head. Henri Cartier-Bresson
Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Love the bird, love the shots, not at all sure about the PP - you seem to have lost so much detail from the feathers etc. and everything seems 'smoooooth'. Maybe the NR did this - which one did you use ?

No NR used on these, I was surprised at the smoothness as well.Love the bird, love the shots, not at all sure about the PP - you seem to have lost so much detail from the feathers etc. and everything seems 'smoooooth'. Maybe the NR did this - which one did you use ?

Great photos Don. It's amazing how different the colours of the adult bird are from the juvenile. Here's a photo taken with a K5, Sigma 70-200 HSM2 and AF 1.7TC. F ratio in exif is reported wrong.Iso 6400 and lots of nr.

Thanks beachboy, I did not realise they were quite so common as this was the first I had seen.

Nocturnal so harder to spot but right around Australia except dry inland west part of continent.. My photos were taken in a dark grove. The bird spotted a long necked turtle disturbing fish, and flew down for a quick snack. I didn't want to use a flash so the high iso.
