    Great shot. (Were you just hanging around at the bus stop for the next sea-eagle to pass? The provenance of these photos always fascinates me). Good one

  • Adam Gormley replied

    I went for a fishing trip with my brother at Rainbow Beach, they usually hunt out fisherman, as they love the scraps, or some of the bigger ones, even try steal their catches! i wasn’t lucky enough this day to see a big one, but this one was good enough! i loose pipi floating around in the waves was his target.

    I just got into the T Thing myself. The key is 2400×3200 as the size and save and load as a PNG then hey presto your away. You choose the colours of the Tess. its easy once you follow the above. its a mix of crop and or resize to fit the required dimension. It intimidated me for a long time, but seriously the above is the simple trick..Good Luck Cheers Mate.

  • Adam Gormley replied

    Cheers mate, appreciate the info!! :)

    Great photo. Was this one shot, or the one among 10 that came out well ? Action photos can be sometimes extremely hard to capture.

  • Adam Gormley replied

    Panned in to keep focus, and shot.. I thought I had him grasping the Pipi, but I was too early.. Happy with the result anyhow :) My 1000D isn’t the best action camera.
