Excellent set! Are they trout in #2?

[Ironwood]

No, not Trout. Some type of Perch, from what I can work out.

An impressive collection of wildlife Brad. All good but #7 is great.

The reference may have gone over a few heads, but that is one CD that has to be played LOUD.
Another great set of wildlife images as usual Brad.

Thanks Greg and Alan.
Yesterday, found a spot down on the bank where I could sit for about an hour without too much discomfort. I took about 100 shots and culled them down to about 25. I got quite a few of the Kingfishers with a fish in their beak, some fish were a lot bigger than this one, but this image cleaned up the best.

If I could win the lottery, I would buy a D5 and a long fast lens, then I might be able to get them with a higher shutter speed without the flash, it would open up a few more possibilities.

Cheers John. I have gotten in trouble more than once from having that Album turned up loud late at night.

But your neighbours are a long way away........ aren't they?

Great series Ironwood. Patience is a virtue. You seem to have mastered that rig and getting excellent results. I have used a CPL for getting nice clear shots of things underwater (mainly the grandies in the pool), may be worth a look for your fish shots.

[Ironwood]

Cheers Isac. Thanks for the kind words.
I still have the desire to get much better at this sort of thing. Unlimited time and money would certainly help here, but my undernourished wallet means I will stick with this kit for a bit longer yet.

[Isac]

... and so you should Ironwood, it's producing some great results for you (and us!)

[Toddyh]

Great series. I can't go past the first azure kingfisher.

[Ironwood]

Thanks Todd. That’s my favourite of the day, because of the ruffled feathers and the background effect the ripples on the surface of the water have given.

[eaglem]

An excellent series of well lit detailed shots.

Thanks Eaglem.
