Cee’s Compose Yourself Challenge
Week 15
Cropping
~~~~~
The New Holland Honey Eater was photographed with my
Nikon D90 and Nikkor 55-300mm zoom lens
set at 300 mm.
This is the original, out of the camera,
New Holland Honey Eater photo.
Cropping to keep the whole bird in shot is
not my favourite shape of photo.
This is my favourite version of this image, although,
I have sharpened, or cropped it, too much.
The beak is soft and I am not sure if this is a depth of field issue
or because the beak was constantly moving.
Someone in the family was getting
a right royal telling off that day.
Dad would have said that this photo was okay
as when placed behind a piece of glass
any imperfections would be covered by the glass.
Another friend of the family would have exclaimed:
‘A blind man would be glad to see it and
a galloping horse wouldn’t stop’
Many times I have recalled that saying…and it is so true.
I was trying to capture the hand rails in this shot.
However, knees and back were not assisting me at all,
so I placed my camera on the concrete.

By cropping out the first bar I achieved my goal.
I can see this fitting into a challenge of some
description down the track.
Many will guess this what this is, however,
I think it is a more interesting shot
than the original…
which leaves nothing to the imagination, except…
how did the photographer get so close.
