Couple of birds

[HansE]

As suggested by Isac I made my way to the wetlands. I didn"t get to take a picture of the swans and their babies as they purposely hid. Saw a few black duck and waterhen.

also a green one.

A previous bird You don't see these often.


Especially in Australia as it is a Condor.

All lovely images Hans. Nice and crisp. The wide shots (1 and 2) give a good perspective. The Condor is well captured, just needs a shadows lift (IMHO).
What kit did you use?

[HansE]

These were taken with the Canon EOS 60D the first two with a 100-400 at 400mm and the last one in Chile with the Sigma 18-250 1/400 @f8 iso 500 @250mm

Thanks for the tech info Hans - appreciated.

did a good job panning on the condor. sometimes (often) in bird photography you cant do anything but throw focal length at them

Thaks Stephen. About the only reasonable one in that lot. Having been to a few motorbike race meetings helped.
