  • Singing Honeyeater

    Again, playing around in the backyard. I've seen these small birds darting around my bottlebrush tree for a while now, but haven't had a chance to photograph them.
    I managed to get an average picture earlier this arvo to use on Merlin to get an ID on them, Singing Honeyeater. And according to eBird, they are in the "uncommon" category for my area.

    Canon 5DIV 75-300mm lens at 300mm zoom
    The first image, I may have cropped a bit hard, so in the second picture, I left a bit wider and added a DOF blur to blend the foreground leaves a bit.

    Nice light and nicely exposed to give good colour. The first image does look a little soft and this may be caused by the amount of cropping, although it shouldn't be an issue at the forum's maximum size.

    You could try closing down the lens by a stop or so as this may help if the lens isn't known for being particularly sharp. It is still good practice for when you get your new lens.

      A little soft but overall the compositions aren't too bad. Nice shots.
      Fujifilm X-T5, XF16-80 f/4, XF70-300 f/4-5.6, XF23 f/2, XF35 f/2, XF150-600 f/5.6-8, and a random assortment of 35mm film cameras.
