took these down the beach at indented head, this guy was sitting on a light post, shot with a 70-200L lens, magic piece of glass!!




the pelicans there are so friendly, just gorgeous, they have me in stitches, so cute!


so then last week i picked up a 100-400mmL lens, and its the bomb!
this is as shot at 400mm at 1/2000 of a sec, its a spiny cheeked honey eater apparently, tiny and very fast!



i was pretty impressed, and then i zoomed in on the shot:




and yes, he caught it!


and a magpie in flight



and just sitting on the fence! this one is as shot, not cropped at all, brightened a little as i always underexpose, and the background is meant to be blurry!




cheers!

You would love to take photos at my place, we have lots of birds in our front and back yards, my favorites are the kookaburras and the black cockies.

i dont want to clog the happy thread, but this morning i got up at 5.30am and went to the beach, so worth it. no tripod as we are allowed to take pics, but your meant to keep moving, so i got creative and used F2.8 and slow shutter to keep the iso down, and stood really still!

predawn




this is one of those lucky moments, to the left is the sunrise, to the right the reverse sunrise,


bird: tannin please??




so many memories from when i was a kid on this pier!


sunrise!




changing colours from night to day




the waves reminded me of satin sheets! i stood there for ages, shot so many!!


i took this as i was about to get in my car, i had changed white balance to shade to take pics of seaweed in the water (nicer colours!!) and it came out like this so i left it!!



there was a gorgeous kelpie cross going nuts, i took a bunch of shots and then approached the owner, as i did the dog jumped up on ehr and gave her such a look, and i got it! turns out He is 3 years old and she rescued him 6 months ago, i reckon that look says it all xx

ps she loved this and the others!!

Actually on second look the beak may be wrong for a bin chicken, so it could be an egret or cormorant.
