Stewart K said:Ahh! I was wondering about the location of the bird as you referred to it as a female, this is a male UK Kestrel Alan. Here’s a good link to identifying the species. http://www.worldbirds.co.uk/common_kestrel.aspx?key=38AlanF said:Stewart K said:I love these shots, it’s very interesting the variations within Kestrels, where were these shots taken Alan?AlanF said:Jack wanted BIF taken with the 400mm DO II plus 2xTC III on the 5D IV. Yesterday, I stopped the car on a country road, set up for 800mm to take a photo of a bird on a pole, when I suddenly saw this female kestrel hover nearby. I took some shots but the lighting was poor. I had to push ev in post and lighten shadows quite a bit. The AF was good.
I’m in the UAE but originally from the UK, so there are small differences between the species I see, this is another variation again!! Great shots mate
Fowlmere in Cambridgeshire. She was by the road leading to the RSPB reserve.
The slate grey/bluish head and tail gives it away, I wasn't sure on the location of your shot as there really are some spectacular variations globally.
I love it!!AlanF said:You are right, he is a he.
I am very disappointed that DxO OpticsPro has still not released an update for the 5DIV. It was meant to be released this month, but that date has now been removed from their website. I have relied on their PRIME for noise reduction, which was important for my shots of the kestrel because of the adverse lighting. I have been trying other noise reduction programs, including Topaz, and NeatImage recommended by Art Morris. However, Nik Dfine2 as used by Jack seems pretty good and it's free. Here is one more shot of the kestrel, +0.8 ev + shadows lifted. Nik has done a pretty good job of denoising.
