Hey Will, I only shoot raw, so unfortunately don't have any sooc jpegs. The one with only LR sharpening is probably the closest.. Marko

Yeah, I have a lot of half birds and empty frames as well! Marko

Many thanks. I almost always use bird detect. It's especially useful with fixed focal length tele and looking to fill the frame (and keep the twitchy bird in the frame as well 😀). I've found it ...

Thanks Jim, They are very lively birds for sure. Bit of a pain to catch especially in less than optimum light. Marko

Well, at least a forest where you can always find Tree Creepers. They seem again very active and checking out nest locations. Potential nest location Marko

What also helped is that the subject was more or less filling the frame so there was a lot of resolution for the details. Marko

Your perspective on things is really quite unique, Sergei. Saying this in a positive sense 🙂 I've been using the LR denoise more and more recently and it often gives better results than ON1. ...

LR AI Denoise + other tweaks. Marko

Went through some editing backlog from a while back and came across this close up of a feather ball. Just for the heck of it, tried different denoise/sharpening approaches. The shot was ...

Thanks Robert, I tend to prefer my shots more towards bright. I guess these are personal preferences to large extent. Or my display settings are all over the pace 🙂 Marko

Thanks, yeah I toned down the legs a notch but I guess they are still bit bright. Marko

Many thanks, Marko

They are really quite goofy with their long legs and absolutely fearless (and vocal) behavior during the nesting season. They effectively start chasing until you're far enough from their ...

Thanks! Marko

A few Redshank shots from a road and hiking trip to Northern Norway one and half years ago. For some reason never got around editing them until now. Lotsa rain, mosquitoes and Redshank encounters ...

Lovely. Thumbs up about the volunteer work as well. Marko

Thanks Jim. It was nice to get little bit of sunshine for a few days. Makes such a difference for colors. We've had a pretty cold winter also in southern Finland and it seems that some of the ...
