Well, the print proof copy has arrived and it looks great, if I do say so myself. Although my husband and a friend, Liz, agree. So excited with how it’s come out! I sat on this one for a few months, and then finally decided just under 3 weeks ago (during another Melbourne lockdown) to…
The title of this post came via my husband’s cousin, Dianne. We were having a chat online after she’d commented on some macro photography I’d recently done. She’d commented that I had a very keen and natural eye for detail and I’d responded that I am constantly amazed how people totally miss what’s around them,…
Advance notice – I’ve been working on Book 2 of Words on Birds: Feathered Friends of the Dandenongs and it’s almost ready to go to print. Can’t wait to get my first copy in my hands! Can’t wait to let you know it’s available for purchase. Here’s a sneak peak on the draft front cover.
We have two salvia sections in our paddock and will probably plant more sections too, because the birds and bees love them and the wallabies don’t, lol.While we’ve tried to stick to our garden planting plan, sadly, the wallabies have decided to feast on many of our plants, and we’ve had to rethink on the…
My husband and I recently had a lovely drive through the hills and visited Cloudehill Gardens in Olinda, which is looking absolutely amazing right now due to the Autumn colours there. So many photos, I won’t share them all (over 150 of them) but it was hard choosing which ones to share here. If you’ve…
I got asked today how many cameras I have. It’s not the first time I’ve been asked that and probably won’t be the last either. Many years ago I had a little pocket Kodak that just wouldn’t cut it when I was trying to photograph my husband and his team out mountain biking. Then I…
Just sometimes, I take a photo and when I view it on my computer, it obviously needs a caption. And this was the case when I recently took some photos of a Darterbird at Birdsland Reserve. The series is below but it’s the middle one that stood out to me. And this is what I…
I often get told that people miss seeing the things I see, or they’re not lucky enough to see these things. I thought I’d share on how I manage to find all the shots I do, and the subjects too. Movement As I’m often walking along in parks, reserves, even my own property, I don’t…
While this photo normally wouldn’t be one I would keep, it really leant itself to a caption. I hope you agree. These are two Rainbow Lorikeets and one decided to shake itself just as I was taking their photo. It had been raining and both birds were wet.
My husband, a friend and I had the most amazing thrill of a lifetime today. We got to watch a male lyrebird, out in the open, dance, sing and display as there was a female lyrebird nearby. Often they can be heard in the bush and shadows but it’s not often you see one out…
I’m currently running the Animals with People challenge at https://gurushots.com/challenge/people-and-animals13/details. I was thrilled when my submission was accepted for the challenge. That’s my granddaughter up there with her dog. I really enjoy the privilege of running challenges with GuruShots. I get to see some really great photography – things that I can aspire to….
I thought I would do a review, now I’ve been using this camera daily since end of November 2020. So almost 3 months. I’m a birder so it’s natural that most of my images will relate to birds but it’s not just birds you can photograph with it. And I definitely recommend it as a…
