Honeyeater

Honeyeater captures a view of one of these beautiful yet shy birds at the National Botanic Gardens in Canberra.

_{Behind the scenes
Too many times, I’ve missed a great shot of birds like this one because of hesitation. I’ve waited, my finger poised on the shutter button for the perfect shot. To capture this image, I tried a different tactic, shooting many frames rapidly capturing the bird in a variety of poses. This was one of the successful shots, capturing the bird in a fantastic posture it held for only a split second.

Artwork
This is a striking image and an ideal addition to any decor. The subject creates a focal point while soft colours ensure it isn’t imposing. Take it home, to the office or share it as a gift!

wonderful capture Adam, great clarity in this image and great composition. Well done !
Adam Spence replied

Thanks Anthony. I must admit to been surprised by how clear it came out. A 100-400mm with 1.4 extender isn’t the ideal combination so I’m very pleased with the result.

Thank You Sue. The Botanic Gardens are a wonderfully colourful place and luckily, the bird chose perhaps the most colourful spot to perch with lots of lush foliage and flowers.
