A few from the Lake

[Isac]

Lovely sunny weather lately so it was off to the lake with the Siggy Bigma.

#1 - Black Swan. There's only 2 of these at the lake and they will have cygnets in September - hopefully get some pics.

#2 - Hard Headed duck (Male) also known as the White-eyed Duck, Barwing or Brownhead.

#3 - Eurasian Coot and a Pacific Black.

#4 - Bees around the Single Sided Bottlebrush.

All great images Isac, #2 & #3 are my pick. Were these taken with the new toy?

Just a comment on the watermark, and this just my opinion, I think that it is too big and intrudes into the photo too much. Very noticeable on #2, not so much on #1. Maybe just need to soften it a bit for a plain background.

I used the OLD 7D but will try out the 7D2 next time. Easy to change the WM size.

I just mentioned because I really like #2, but the WM just hits me in the face.

[Isac]

I've changed the WM to a more acceptable size, which will be evident in my next series of wonderful photos with the new 7Dii.

Thanks for that Stephen - appreciated. I noticed today that one of the swans was on the nest so we should see the cygnets soon. I'll check every day with camera at hand.
