birding
Welcome to /c/birding, a community for people who like birds, birdwatching and birding in general! Feel free to post your birding photos or just photos of birds you found in general, but please follow the rules as outlined below.
-
This should go without saying, but please be nice to one another. No petty insults, no bigotry, no harassment, hate speech,nothing of that sort! Depending on the severity, you'll either only get your comment removed and a warning or your comment will be removed and you will be banned from /c/birding.
-
This is a community for posting content of birds, nothing else. Please keep the posts related to birding or birds in general.
-
When posting photos or videos that you did not take, please always credit the original photographer! Link to the original post on social media as well, if there is one.
-
Absolutely no AI-generated content is allowed! I know it has become quite difficult to tell whether or not something is AI-generated or not, but please make sure that whatever you post is not AI-generated. If it is, your post will be removed. If you continously post AI-generated content, you'll be banned from /c/birding (but it's obviously okay if you post AI-generated stuff once or twice without knowing you did so).
-
Please provide rough information location, if possible. This is a more loosely-enforced rule, especially because it is sometimes not possible to provide a location. But if you post a photo you took yourself, please provide a rough location and date of the sighting.

How'd you prevent chromatic aberration with the high background contrast? Or did you remove it in post?
Not all lenses have (much) chromatic aberration and it is in any case trivial to remove it in post.
It's there, but there's just not much of it. I didn't do any postprocessing on this at all except feeding it through the byzantine ImageMagick script I wrote to stamp it with my penguin watermark.
There is some chromatic aberration around the edges. It's not much, but it's there. Here is a full scale excerpt:
Otherwise that's just what this lens produces. It is, I'm [ proud | pleased | very sorry | choose one ] to report, about $2250 worth of glass.
