Nos passereaux d'hiver | Première partie
Afin de bien débuter l'hiver pour ma première sortie officiellement hivernale, je suis allé à la rencontre de quelques-uns de nos classiques petits passereaux d'hiver, particulièrement le Junco ardoisé, la Mésange Bicolore (visible à l'année celle-là mais elle est davantage disposée à se présenter devant nous lors des saisons froides) et le si joli et coopératif — comme il aime prendre la pose celui-là — Bruant hudsonien que je vous présente aujourd'hui.

It was rain rain rain everywhere in SG today. Was idling at home, a little disturbed and was bascially flickin away the whole morn, and just when the rain stopped ard noon, i quickly grabbed my gear, drove down to the gardens and thought perhaps i could probably have 2 hrs (the least) of macro shooitng, it started raining again!! Have to scurry for cover although my gear was well protected from my Matin Camo rain cover. It was a disappointing macro outing today which lasted only 25 mins!! Managed some decent shots to share with al on a wet wet sundayl! Happy Viewing!!! =(

The green blob in front of the squirrel nose was not there when I snapped the photo. Could it be light on the lens ? or a Ghost ???
Your comments and faves are greatly appreciated. Many thanks.
Musk Lorikeet
Glossopsitta concinna
Bird Overview: The Musk Lorikeet specialises in feeding on the nectar which is produced by flowering eucalypts, and sometimes also from the flowers of banksias and grevilleas. They collect nectar with their brush-shaped tongues. Musk Lorikeets are usually seen feeding in large noisy flocks in the canopy of eucalypts, often associating with other nectar-feeding birds, especially Rainbow Lorikeets and honeyeaters. The movements of Musk Lorikeets are often correlated with the flowering of trees, with birds appearing when the trees are in bloom, and leaving after the flowering has finished.
Identification: The Musk Lorikeet is a medium-sized, sturdy lorikeet, sometimes seen in large flocks when trees are flowering and often in mixed flocks with other parrots and other birds. They are active and noisy. This lorikeet is mostly green, with a yellow patch at the side of the breast. It has a bright red forehead and band through the eye to the ear coverts. The crown is blue, with females having less blue than males. In flight, brown flight feathers and the golden tail are revealed. Flight is fast and direct, with short angular wings and a medium-length, pointed to wedge-shaped tail.
Songs and Calls: The usual contact call is a shrill metallic screech, higher than the Rainbow Lorikeet, in flight and when perched. They constantly chatter when feeding.
Habitat: Musk Lorikeets are found in tall, open, dry forest and woodlands, dominated by eucalypts and are usually found in the canopy. They are also seen in suburban areas, parks and street trees. They roost or loaf in tall trees away from their feeding sites.
Behaviour: Musk Lorikeets are gregarious, often mixing with other parrots when feeding, including Scaly-breasted Lorikeets, Little Lorikeets and Swift Parrots.
Feeding: Musk Lorikeets feed in all levels of the canopy and are very active when foraging. They eat mainly pollen and nectar from eucalypts using their specialised brush-tipped tongues, but also eat seeds, fruits and insects and their larvae.
Breeding: Musk Lorikeets breed in hollow branches and holes in living eucalypts, often near watercourses. The entrance holes are usually very small, so they have to squeeze in. Eggs are laid on a base of chewed or decayed wood. The female incubate the eggs and both parents roost in the hollow at night.

The story of this photo:
This is my latest macro shot. Over the last few weeks, I have been spending my time doing a lot of stuff that did not have too much to do with taking or editing photos. It did have to do with photography, but just not with the creative part of it. Anyway, yesterday, I got fed up with this stuff and I started messing around with my macro gear. The sun just went down and I found this tiny foilage with those delicate little hairs. I figured that this would look great against the sun. So, I got out my little syringe, applied a few droplets and took a whole bunch of shots with the sun in different spots relative to the foilage.
Initailly, I went with an aperture of f/20 to f/25 to get all of the leaves in focus. But that brought parts of the background too much into focus too. So, I went with f/8 which blurred the background entirely, and I took different shots with different foci. Then I used focus stacking in Photoshop to blend those images together. Et Voilà , subject in focus, background blurred.
And here is the lesson for you: Always know what you can do to an image in post-processing while you are shooting. This may help you solve problems and lets you create images that may be very difficult to create otherwise.
How it was shot:
> Taken with a tripod
> Three exposures - used focus stacking to bring the whole subject into focus
> Camera: Nikon D7000
> Lens: Nikon AF-S Micro-Nikkor 105mm 1:2,8G VR
How it was post-processed:
> Post-processing was done in Photoshop
> Topaz DeNoise
> Topaz Infocus for sharpening
> Topaz Details for bringing out the details in the petals and some basic color correction
> Saturation adjustent layer (master)
> Vibrance layer (vibrance)
