K\u0101k\u0101 sporting some distracting bling<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Last time I wrote about concealing bird bling on Takah\u0113.<\/a> Being flightless we could conceal at time of capture in long grass, behind out of focus foreground elements, or crop the bands out of the image. I didn’t need to resort to digital surgery for any of the images. Arboreal birds are more of a challenge. K\u0101k\u0101 at Orokonui are particularly challenging with most sporting a variety of metal and coloured bands on both legs. <\/p>\n\n\n

\"K\u0101k\u0101<\/a>
K\u0101k\u0101 pose giving a clear view of a red band<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

In this situation I shoot a lot of images to give options to choose from while keeping an eye out for poses that reduce the visibility of bands. <\/p>\n\n\n

\"K\u0101k\u0101<\/a>
K\u0101k\u0101 pose giving a partially concealed view of a red band<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Having less of the band visible makes digital surgery simpler. First step in reducing the distraction is to desaturate and reduce the luminance of the band and this goes a long way to reducing the distraction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Desaturating and reducing the luminance of the red band significantly reduces the distraction<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The next step is to use the clone stamp and healing brush to give a more natural edge and texture to the small part of visible leg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes the bands can be completely concealed by the pose and at times concealed enough that simply desaturating and darkening removes the distraction. This following image gives a glimpse of a blue band on the upper leg and a red band on the lower. The only distraction for me is the larger part of the red band so by desaturating and darkening this the distraction is eliminated very simply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Desaturating and darkening part of the red band eliminates the distraction simply <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Sometimes there is no option but to resort to digital surgery. The image at the head of this post was a from a sequence as the K\u0101k\u0101 moved. In some images both legs were visible with a red band on the left leg and blue band on the right. By choosing an image with the right leg partially hidden I could limit surgery to just one limb. I desaturated and darkened the red band and then used the clone stamp and healing brush to construct an unadorned leg. I quite enjoy doing these little reconstructive procedures but they are quite time intensive so not something you want to do if you can avoid the problem at capture.<\/p>\n\n\n

This type of intervention is obviously not acceptable for certain competitions. but is something I am comfortable with when making an image trying to showcase a bird at it’s best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
