BELINDA GROVER PHOTOGRAPHY

STOPS ALONG THE WAY

NUTHATCH

19 Comments

NuthatchThe forest was dark, so to compensate for this I shot at a high ISO which made for a noisy photo. I corrected this in Lightroom using noise reduction and the moire filter.
The nuthatch looks half asleep as he makes his way up the branch, almost sleepwalking.

    LOL! It does look like it’s napping. Great image and nice work on the noise.

    Maybe use spot metering on the bird could have helped??

    But I like the background

    Gosh, look at that sharp back claw! No wonder they can cling to the branches so well.
