Carnaby’s Black Cockatoo

Over the last couple of weeks the Macadamia tree in the backyard has attracted some beautiful creatures. Sitting patiently I managed to capture a curious Carnaby last weekend.

When the flock return next weekend (guaranteed!) I hope to capture some birds feeding on the Macadamia nuts. Although at times like this I tend to put down the camera and enjoy watching the endangered birds calling and carrying on.

Until next time

Happy Shooting

The Bird Flu Flew

The last couple of weeks have been absolutely terrible for my health.  It seems like I have just been sick non stop! Last week I have had a HORRIBLE virus/cold that has put me in bed for the majority of the weekend. Being stuck indoors is one of my biggest fears! I had to do something and quick! I grabbed the nearest set of car keys and picked up my camera with wide angle attached and set off.

Bibra lake was freezing! Maybe it wasn’t such a good idea! I killed two birds with one stone though. I have just finished putting together a multirow shoot that Ash from Camera Electronic was requesting…it should be up later on this evening so stay tuned. I much happier with the video quality on my tutorials so over time there should be some more coming.

This image of a Welcome Swallow was shot using my Canon 17-40mm f4.

Osprey

 

 

My favorite wildlife image… until I take the next one!

Ask yourself the question…what is in your backyard….If you have any wildlife where you are why not take a shot of it and post it! I would love to see it.

Back from Geraldton

 

 

 

 

In my previous post I set myself a challenge to get a few specific shots while I was in Geraldton.

RESULT!!! Stay tuned tomorrow morning for another shot.

Lilac Breasted Roller


African Elephant

What is with my mind only being creative at night???? It seems like I only post images late at night!

I searched my Elephant data base and found this image which was perfect for a bit of B&W and a touch of film grain.

My thoughts are the blacks in the image are a little bit too crushed but hey I kind of like that.

Thanks for taking the time to view my images.  I really enjoy your comments so keep them coming!

This one’s for David

Well David you inspired me on the last image you posted…(If you haven’t see it click on David Sobik Photography on the blogroll on the right). Here’s my effort to get a reflection.

Enjoy!

Bibra Lake

Waking up was the hardest part today. My body just wanted to keep sleeping but I’m glad my mind was stronger because I had the best morning shoot ever!

The subject: Black Swans

Got to Bibra Lake (1 minute away) by moonlight and these were some of the results.

Enjoy.

Until next time.

Happy Shooting!

Red Billed Hornbill

And now…. (insert drum roll)….  for the other African Hornbill…..

I was actually photographing this bird when the huge grasshopper flew into the shot.

Unfortunately I missed the quick grab by the Hornbill but managed to get a sequence of shots of the squirming grasshopper trying to escape the beak of death. It was all over very quickly and gut free. I think it would have been quite crunchy!

Until next time…

Happy Shooting!
