Once again being a workday, I have been unable to take any new pictures today. Therefore I can only present something I shot last year. My wife and I live reasonably close to Vandusen Garden and usually have a membership so we can go as often as we like.
There are many things to see and take pictures of if you like flowers and nature. This little guy was singing up a storm for several minutes. I set up my gear and got off only a few shots before it bolted. This was one of the better ones. Unfortunately I had to use a high ISO setting to get a fast enough shutter speed to freeze the action.
In post I boosted the saturation and contrast a touch and cloned out a small twig that was in front of the bird. I didn’t do a great job with removing the twig. I’m not that experienced with retouching photos in Photoshop. This is definitely one area of my workflow that needs improvement.
