It's indeed a child that only a mother can love

Maybe that's why she left it "home alone"

I might have shared it back in the day. Couldn't find my post.

I think it is called a Grey Heron? It is not my expertise... But those are also local over here, indeed.

With all the rain this year in Auckland, the odd devastating cyclone and getting hit by a car when cycling to work, this year hasn't been good for photography.

On the other hand, I do have a bit more time to work through old photos.

Here's a pic of a Red Crown Crane I took at the Zhalong Reserve near Qiqihar in Heilong-JIang province in 2009.

#2023 Version

a100 and Tamron 90/2.8mm, at 1ISO100, 1/1000s and f4.5

For comparison the
#2009 Version


I'd only owned the a100 a few months when the opportunity at Zhalong came about, so my photography and Raw processing skills were not that advanced. Also, we only had a narrow window of time to take pictures. I was there as an official visit as part of a foreign delegation so there wasn't much time for planning or composition.

In 2009 I was using Silkypix, I overstaturated the shot, and the feather details on the dorsal side of the wings were lost, and I cropped it to a 4x5 image.

In 2023 I'm using Capture One 2023, the colours look more natural, the feather details have been recovered. I've also used Pixelmator Pro's 'super resolution' AI function. So a 10MP shot in 2009 is now a 90MP shot in 2023. I just let Pixelmator Pro do its default enlargement. It really is an impressive enlargement.

α1, FX30- Voigtländer 15/4.5, 110/2.5 M; Zeiss Loxia- 21/2.8, 35/2, 50/2 & 85/2.4, Zeiss Batis- 85/1.8 & 135/2.8; Sony 18-105/4, 24-105/4 & 100-400/4.5-5.6; Sigma 70/2.8 M; Sony 135/2.8 STF
