Impressive, indeed!

What camera did you use? What was the shooting format: RAW? JPEG? How much post-processing?
 
Nice shots:t:

I have a Celestron 125mm with a standard 50x and i bought a 100x:eek!: plus camera adapter for a smartphone and Canon EOS 7D.

I haven’t used it to take any pics yet as i am still getting used to birding with it but will give it a try when the wind allows:t:

I use Olympus E-m1 mk2. always shoot Raw.

I use (older) PS . Open in Camera raw, crop if needed (composition wise) choose Auto - and tweak some clarity into it, (15-20 on the slider) check the blacks and the highlights, and tweak those minimal if needed. this stage might take from 10 seconds to 30seconds... :)

The I have an action were I use Topaz denoise AI, which is set to light noise removal as well as detail/sharpening enhancement. It does the work automatically for about a minute or so.


Pretty basic. A few minutes per pic, more or less. What takes more time is to sift through all the bad ones to get to the odd one, the good one :)

Unfortunatedly pics posted here are low res and have less detail than the full ones I see myself.
here you can see more high res ones - if you like wrynecks
