I often do this at the very end of the day when photographing birds - rather than fighting diminishing light with high ISO and big apertures I go the other way and embrace the blur! The fact that there was so little light is another clue to the colors. So, what is going on here? First, and probably most obviously, I used a relatively long shutter speed that allowed the bird’s motion to blur. Virtually all photographers regard the post-production process to be as integral to achieving the final image as all of the things that take place before the shutter is released.) (Almost no one ever presents a photograph that hasn’t been optimized in post-production. Everything in the image appeared just as you see it, and aside from some color balancing and a few other adjustments, the colors were actually just this unusual. But first, of course it is “photoshopped,” that that probably doesn’t mean quite what people intend to imply when they say or write it. It is easy for me to imagine some viewers of this photograph asking questions like, “That’s not real, is it?” or “You photoshopped that, right?” I can’t blame them - or you - for wondering, so I’ll share a few things about the photograph: how it was made, how it came to look the way it does, and why the colors are so atypical for bird photography. © Copyright 2020 G Dan Mitchell – all rights reserved.
