Rainbow Lorikeet

Finally, the Tamrom 16-300mm takes a decent photo, quickly hand held, against the light and though a glass pane - go figure. The Grass Tree continues to give.



D7000 f/6.3 1/640 250 ISO. Took a bit of editing though.

Nice shot. I like the rim light effect.

Beautiful capture Alan .... really like the bokeh

[Alan]

Thanks you two - I'm a bit partial to the bokeh too Barb - maybe I'll keep the lens

G'day Alan

Agree with ^^ above - great image ... worth keeping the pic and the lens

Wonderful shot Alan. Refreshingly different from the usual bird pose.

A lot to like here. Color, light, composition. That lens certainly is worth keeping for the bokeh.

And not a poodle in sight. I'm sure even Bella Leibovitz would approve.

Thanks Phil and Charles - great see you both back.

Almost ready to sell the lens - then it goes and produces bokeh like that

jeez doesnt the rim light work wonders on this one. great work
I reckon a bit of a vignette on this would lift it further, not enough to be noticable but darken the light stuff a bit on the right. not as far in as the bird but perhaps where the light hints at a vignette?
well done
