To get some feathered shots Tanya and I went to Penguin Island, a national marine park. We made a great day out of it and had some laughs. I definitely learned some things about bird photography and got to see a great part of WA I have never seen before.
This was the boat pier, there was probably 150+ birds sitting there. I noticed this bird was the odd one out and it gave me an idea how to shoot the crowd :).
I got so many Pelican shots I like I could have easily had all three Pelicans. This was my equal favourite shot of a Pelican, I love the way the two birds are showing different stages of flight and they are positioned in relation to each other.
These little birds were so cute!! There was two of them and they would perch for maybe 10 seconds, flit off again, perch again etc. I had the ocean as a backdrop here and kept the post in the crop to show just how tiny this bird was.
I'm not sure if it's allowed but here is a link to my Penguin Island set on Flickr, for the shots I couldn't put here but still want to share: Penguin Island Set
I like the pelican one best Hannah - it's great.
ReplyDeleteI love these shots... love the first one, brilliant!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots Hannah! The pelicans are amazing birds - super photo of them in formation, and the little Swallow is just so pretty :)
ReplyDeleteFantastic images. I love the depth of field and focus in the first one and the black and white treatment really draws your eye in to the main part of the image. I love the pelicans and the composition in the last photo is lovely.
ReplyDeleteI adore that first black & white shot! like at a crowded market or something, very cool :-)
