5D Meets Hummingbird
I finally got a chance to shoot hummers with the new 5D and my 400mm
5.6L. I didn't use my typical lighting set up because I wanted to emphasize feather detail. So I only used light from one direction. The following is a full-size crop. http://tinyurl.com/3bkkrj The noise in the background is mostly the result of the sharpening method that I used. Eric Miller www.dyesscreek.com |

Eric has always kicked my ass (and about everyone else's) at hummingbird shots. I'm just ****ed that I have to wait until late July to even shoot any. |

Great shot! Although, it seems you're using photoshop like digital
ketchup....I'd ease up on the sharpening tool. It especially made the red in the bird's neck look unrealistic (I'm assuming you might have also added some color to get that effect), which really detracts from the incredible shot that you got. If you want to reduce the noise in the background, just use your layers tool and apply either "smart blur" or my personal preference for backgrounds, a light gaussian blur. Then, using your opacity bar, you can lighten the effect if it's too strong. All the best!! |
