Wider view which tended to over expose the Moon to get some detail in the foreground. Emphasised using the ReDynaMix plugin in Photoshop Elements.
Great Tit Nest
Yesterday I counted six gaping beaks as they reminded the parents they were hungry. I wonder whether the final egg will hatch. The parent birds are kept busy enough feeding them all as it is.
When available the video feed from the nestbox can be seen HERE. There are times when I have to switch it off as it slows down other uses, especially uploads, with the computer.
You have got far steadier hands than me John even with a rest. Wonderful images.
ReplyDeleteIt also helps, Andrew, when using a lens with tiny built in gyroscopes ;)
DeleteThose are excellent photos John. The last one is very atmospheric!
ReplyDeleteGood luck to the Blue Tit family.
Thank you Jan. It made a change so see a bit of colour with the Moonlight.
DeleteThe moon was gorgeous over that weekend John and these are great photos! Mine didn't come out well at all, still need that Zoom lens!
ReplyDeleteThank you Maree. The zoom lens does help to get more detail.
DeleteHi John, your moon shots are really beautiful. Thanks also for enabling us all to watch the little ones in Mrs GT's nest. It's wonderful. You are quite a Techy guy you know :)
ReplyDeleteI had a few major problems with the video feed today but I think it should be back up again tomorrow. The little ones are growing fast. It will be a tight squeeze soon with Mama and six offspring.
