Monday at Washington Wetlands Centre

[Alan Hewitt]

I was at the reserve on Monday catching up on things and managed to photograph a sequence of Avocet courtship & mating, plus a few other things - A scared mallard, splashing mandarin and eider and a moorhen feeding young!

Some lovely pictures Alan, my favorite is the mother and baby Moorhen, but they are all good.

Some absolutely beautiful images on there You have them so smooth, do you run them through any noise reduction software? Love the action shots

Thank you for your kind comments.

My website was hacked late last night but it is fixed now and the link should be ok.

I would like to apologise to those who may have clicked through to my site as a result of this thread. Sorry if the hackers page caused any offence.

Thanks. I find taking shots with the water going to be some of my personal favourites.

I don't use any noise reduction. The D300 and more so the D700 are very good in this respect. After I resize photographs for the internet I do a process of selective sharpening I describe here: Preparing Photographs For The Internet Alan Hewitt Photography

Thanks Allan, very interesting read. I'll have to give it a go sometime as you clearly attain some wonderful results The images weren't too shabby beforehand though of course
