As promised, more photos of the munk parakeets taken through my double pain kitchen window. I’ve done a better job of removing the “haze” caused by reflections off the glass in this set. I had to get creative in Photoshop to do this.

Below are links to information about these beautiful birds including an audio track that on What Bird.

Comments and suggestions welcome,

Another nice set Morris,

have you tried B&W points to help you with the haze?

Sometimes those really help.

Better than expected for shooting through a window Morris (typically that's a recipe for disappointment).

Have you looked into the cost of replacement windows? If it's not duo-pane I might just consider knocking one out for the sake of less post-processing.

Nice set Morris!! You are on a roll with these guys. I like the second one the best for the eye contact and the nice background.

A cute little guy. I was wondering what a munk was when I read the title.

Beautiful birds Morris!
How long would you have to sit still outside for them to come round for an unobstructed shot?

How about a photo of your kitchen window?

If you use a rubber lens hood, you can press the hood against the window at different angles and get rid of most reflections.

Morris I like the second one. The bokeh & pose combine to make it a winner. Take care. Bob

A nice subdued feel to the light Morris, I like the character of these shots and find the colors pleasing Fine work on these and isn't shooting through glass a real 'pane'
