I wanted to achieve the dreamiest effect possible, then I thought of cropping the very blurry bottom part by going 3:4 instead of 2:3 but didn’t like it as much.
I'm grown to hate them honestly: since weeks, bigger and bigger flocks dominate the skies around my home, going tree to tree like locusts. I bet they are the reason why I don't see many other birds around - but I might be wrong and don't know anything about seasonal and avian fauna behaviors...
I’m seeing a bit of LoCA (longitudinal chromatic aberration): maybe something you can try to work on with Darktable. Stacking should also get rid of it.
Please take it as constructive as possible, the photos are really nice :)
It was really close, to take that profile full-figure shot I had to back up to the side several meters and hold the camera as low as possible in the ditch. That is taken at 400mm.
Thanks for the eyebrows-rising comment, let’s try to get some useful infos going: this picture was taken in Bayern, Germany, where herons migrate for winter (blue areas in the picture)
I assume “DC metro area” means North America? No native grey herons there I think, but local? Almost all American citizens descend from people who self-imported themselves in NA, but I would surely call them local ;)
Sooo unfortunately - as already found out by another Pixelfed user some weeks ago - cross posting directly from Pixelfed has big caveats: one of them is the loss of multi-picture posts where only the first is seen on Lemmy.
Thanks for your feedback :)
