[QUOTE="Ironwood, post: 145828, member: 10447"] Another backyard walk this afternoon. Experimenting with different settings for U1/U2 for birds.Found this pair of Red Tailed Black Cockatoo's eating some Gumnuts on a high branch. It wasn't easy getting good clear shots of them as they were high up in the branches, I just had to try and find gaps between the foliage to get a shot of them as best I could.They wern't being vey cooperative. This one is the male, they have the bright red tail feathers. I tried to pull some detail out of the shadows to see him a bit better, but I might have gone too far, as the feathers on his back have blown out a bit. The sun was to the left in the photo.And a tight crop of his head, must be 100% crop or more, not sure how to tell for sure. The top pic is cropped as well.EDIT- I replaced this pic with a tamed down version, as it was worse than I first thought .
