Some more Rainbow Bee-eater action. This is a series of around 1,230 images from a 1,310 series of images taken over an 1 hour and 5 minute on Thursday November 20. The same family of Rainbow Bee-eatrs were very busy although they did sometimes fly over the nest and return to the branch without feeding the chicks in the nest. They would return to a branch with and without food for a clutch of chicks in the nest nearby. During the process, a small snake came by the nest (in the ground) and there was a flurry of activity to chase it off (unfortunately not captured due to the timelpase framing. All images are full frame on a Sony A7RV so there are quite a few single frames for use in the future. It took quite a while to process this AV at the best resolution. Ciao Mark

Thank you all for your suggestions. Dave Gee's suggestion was the perfect solution. The sailor was prom an old painting and to the wood image as a PNG. The Harmonize feature is pretty good. Adds shadows too.

The first AV consists of just over 1200 images taken in the morning over a period of approximately 65 minutes. The Australian rainbow bee-eater has a unique method of preparing prey by rubbing venomous insects on a branch to remove stingers. They can consume up to 300 insects daily, which minimizes their need for drinking water. In this AV you will see them fly off and catch insects near the roosting branch. Sometimes seen hitting the insect on the branch to remove the sting. Additionally, communal colonies are now common in the area in summer, where sandy soil is perfect nesting material. Sometimes creating tunnels up to 1.6 meters long, and their mating is monogamous, with pairs potentially returning to the same nesting sites year after year. Often, juvenile birds from a previous brood assist the parents in feeding the next lot of chicks. You will see up to 4 birds that were feeding the same nest. While capturing the sequence for this AV, I witnessed the family bomb diving a small snake that ventured into the area. This is a very short AV with limited display time for each image. The second AV has about 180 images from the time-lapse of the birds in flight. I struggled with the number of images from the series and the duration of the AV to hold the viewers' attention. The duration of this AV is around 4 mins and 37 secs. I was back at the nesting site this morning to get some more images, as they are very restful to watch them come and go. Mark

A wonderful project and song selection, everything is true to the songs, we were young and believed, but the years..., I hope your loved ones liked it.

There is a new feature in Photoshop called "Harmonize" which will do a little more than just colour correction. Not sure if it will work on layers so you might have to merge your two layers, apply harmonize, then extract your object again or something similar, but I think that I would give it a try. (It does work with layers). There are a few YT videos explaining the procedure - try this one to start.

You can use Colour Correction Filters to adjust each image individually - Levels/Saturation/Hue etc Also if you set the background slide to have Nested Colour Filters, then if the PNG's are Children you can adjust all 3 images at once. Jill
