My new interest in wildlife photography took me to Tehidy Woods last weekend.
Under a heavy grey sky, not long after the sun came up, I spotted this male Mandarin Duck. In the low light, an ISO of 12800 was required. If this was a landscape photo, I would have thrown it out due to the noise such a high ISO introduced. I managed to fix the noise a little in Lightroom.
I sought the expert opinion of Andy Mayer (instagram @andymaher_naturephotography - check out his work, it's awesome!), who encouraged me to post the picture. So, here it is!

Canon R5 | Sigma 150-600 at 600mm | Ę/6.3 | 1/500 sec | ISO 12800 | Handheld | Adobe RAW & Photoshop | Date: 03-02-2024
