0432 Tomtit EH Regional Park 11-09-22

            Tomtit photographed at the East Harbour Regional Park Hutt Valley/Wellington. After puffing my way up the McKenzie Road track, I found the damp leaf litter from very recent rain was dangerously slippery on any slope so after a mere 10 minutes on the Ridge Track, I changed tack and settled down to wait for and see what birds might come by. I was rewarded when this lovely Tomtit arrived and posed for a photo. As the track is on the south side of the ridge, it loses the strength of the late afternoon sun quickly so this image was shot at an ISO of 8,000, The other image problem was the small bird was almost 10m distance meaning a lot of cropping was needed to give this composition. The combination of extensive cropping and low lighting necessitated noise reduction. I have been using Topaz AI to do this for around 18 months and can heartily recommend it.
