High-Key Bird Shots

[Wozza]

Still going through Aussie photo's from holiday.

Exposed to blow out the sky on these pics and then bought out the subject with some flash, only really a really slight curves adjustment layer in pshop and a small crop on one. Cloned a few semi-in frame Parrots out of the tree shot.

Love the Rainbow Lorikeet shot! We get those in our yard at various times during the year when the Grevillia flowers.

Each September/October we get dive bombed and whacked around the head by the Magpies while they are nesting. Love the light you got on this one.

Beautiful shots, and clever use of fill flash too.
