... or perhaps catch the bug and eat it... which was actually what he was doing. I was watching him flit about and stalked him!
Usually I don't process much but for some reason my RAW version is just noisy and it's only ISO 100.... so I don't know :( Anyway, went the jpeg version which was too dark... I pushed the highlights way up and bumped the contrast and brightness just a bit and I'm in love with this!
Right behind my condo, at a certain time of the year fruit bats come out at dusk to feed on the insects. I've always been tempted to shoot them, but figured I'd never get a decent shot because of the darkness and the way they flutter around so erratically.
@cromwell Yeah, that's a hard one... you would have to have fast shutter speed but then you compromise other things :/ That's the issue with my magpie shots...
@brizmako Thanks so much, Alan. Appreciate your comment and thanks so much for the fav too!
@yogee246 Thank you, Gita :) I think there was a lot of luck in this lol. I was sitting on the ground, focussed on the bird... waiting for it to take flight!!
