Playing with Pre-Sets / Expressive Visitors
As of recent, our backyard turned into a parrot haven, as the local flock of Cockies discovered that we feed our horses Black Sunflower Seeds. So now they harass us until we give them a taste.
This did allow me to practice a few shots - and most importantly, to finally play around with Light Room Presets (self-created ones).
I'm not 100% happy with the edits, but I love the birds' expressions and their quirky nature, so I decided to upload them after all :)
Challenges I faced: This happened behind my feedshed in the evening hours. At that time, the sun is behind the main house, and the entire area is in shade. So I had to crank up the ISO significantly, and then apply a lot of De-Noise. Note to self: Must see if I can find where they hang out in the mornings instead, and see if I can't get them in better light!
