February 2017

I am just back from the Scottish Highlands where I have spent a couple of weeks guiding other photographers to get images of the wildlife up there.

As well as the normal sort of well-lit image of these attractive birds, I try to encourage clients to make use of whatever light is available, and as these birds have such a distinctive shape, backlighting them is always an option.

Here, I was able to line the crested tit up against light being filtered through the tree canopy, and then enhance the image during post-processing to bring out the faint colours of the setting sun that day.

If you would like to learn such techniques, please drop me an email.
