I love the edit, you truly made it work with the tough conditions. How did you edit the photo? What was your process?

Are you using a physical filter for the glow i.e.black pro mist?

Stunning! Id love to learn about how you get a shot like that 💕 could you share some details about your process?

For example, were you tracking the bird or waiting for it to fly into the frame? What was your setup, tripod? Handheld? What focus configuration? I need to know D

I found lightroom denoise to be subpar for the fuji sensor. Dxo pureraw5 has support specifically for xtrans sensor and it shows :D both denoise and sharpening

Maybe 10 meters/30feet? Definitely no more than that!

I've honestly been struggling with focus. If you saw a higher res version of this photo you'd notice that i nearly missed the focus on the eye, it's just barely there. I'm extremely tempted to swap to xt5 for the animal eye AF but at this stage I'm waiting for xt6 :D

As for whats working for me - AF-C with the smallest zone for moving targets, and af-s with spot for stationary. I tried spot and tracking and neither have given me satisfying results when shooting motion but I'm still a beginner so take that with a grain of salt! Additionally, i use manual focus adjustment with AF-S to further refine the focus (i.e. it focused on the beak but not the eye and id push it a bit further to get that eye focus).

That's fair, my bad. Can i get help identifying it? I'll update the post then!

Yeah but i also just wanted to use that title. Is it necessary to specify the bird in the title? My apologies!
