On the walk around our local duckpond, as I previously
mentioned there was a lot of birds flying around. As they passed overhead in
large groups they made some interesting compositions.
As I had the telephoto lens on this helped to crop into the
group of birds. I was using shutter priority with a shutter speed of 1/500th
second; this was fast enough to freeze the birds as they flew past. I didn’t
use the built in flash because it wouldn’t have been powerfull enough to reach
the birds. The camera selected an aperture of F 5 at ISO 100 to give the
correct exposure.
To edit the photo I increased the contrast, lowered the
highlight and increased the shadows. I did this to brighten up the undersides
of the birds. By increasing the contrast this introduces some extra punch into
the photo. I also adjusted the white balance, because this makes the sky look
much bluer and makes the photo more dynamic.
I’m very happy with the editing I did to this photo, the
photo looks a lot better than when I started. For most of my editing I use the
edit software that came with my camera. It works very well and creates very
pleasing results.
