    Default Not Another Boring Lorikeet...

    Well yes, pretty prevalent around here. This was taken to try and capture the colour in the wings. Unfortunately, I'm a bit slow and only got a bit of it. The picture was taken into the sunlight so the background is pretty washed out. I used Picasa to try and fix things and this is what I got. The Sigma lens is not the sharpest thing going around...

    I don't ever think lorikeets are boring.

    Certainly not that one.

    Good capture.

    Thanks.

    That's a really nice photo. About 9/10th's of the way to being truly awesome! But that's what keeps you going, isn't it

    Cheers,
    Dave

    Thumbs up

    Shows off the plumage beautifully!

    Bit hard to get everything just right if you are after a particular shot or angle, but boy you went oh so close.
