Tygum Water Birds

[wigz]

A few more from Monday's walk at Tygum Park.

The overcast sky made some ugly light and reflections on the water.

1. Australasian Grebe. 1/320 f/5.6 ISO 160



2. Australasian Darter. 1/250 f/5.6 ISO 450


3. Comb-crested Jacana portrait. 1/320 f/5.6 ISO 360. I wasn't all that close - this is a huge crop.


4. Australasian Swamphen. 1/320 f/5.6 ISO 800


5. Black Swan portrait. 1/320 f/5.6 ISO 360

Hi Alan

Another beaut series of images
and #3 shows the superb clarity of lens and sensor each doing as they were meant to do

Thanks Phil. Re #3, I really have too many shots of these so I thought I'd try to show some detail of its colouring.

[David_MC]

You got some really nice shots there.

[wigz]

Thanks David. There were plenty of subjects around that morning.

I agree with all above, lovely work Alan. Cracking shots. I do like the portrait shots for presenting an alternative view and showing great detail in the bird's intricate and complex design.

[wigz]

Thanks Isac. We usually don’t see all of the detail, particularly in the smaller birds so it’s good to show it sometimes.
