Time for a feed!

Still with the heron!  Here it is fishing for food and I was delighted to watch it.  I love the picture of concentration and how it’s focused.

Shooting Birds II

I shared a couple of shots two days ago taken at Lysterfield Lake Park after attending a 2 day photography workshop. Here’s a series of shots I took on the same day of a young wattle bird. It was preoccupied with preening itself so didn’t really notice me as I slowly moved closer. When it did notice me, it went to take off, then found another spot (perhaps an itch) and attended to that instead and then fluffed its feathers. The light was low but thankfully I was able to get reasonable shots.

Shooting birds

I went to a 2 day photography workshop last weekend with Steve Parish, Darran Leal and Mark Galer. Learnt heaps, met other keen photographers and went home to apply my new settings and purchase Lightroom 4. Have a lot of learning and practicing to do. However, I was out Monday morning shooting birds (my favourite past time) and here are some of the results.  A Crested Pigeon and a Mother Duck taking her younglings out for a walk. All taken at Lysterfield Lake Park.
