Thanks Phillip

Cheers Robert. I like your bee eater photo as well. They are quick little things that don’t sit still for long aren’t they.

thanks

Thanks Steve. I was pretty damn happy when i got back to camp that night and downloaded it. I thought it might have been alright when i zoomed in on the little camera screen and saw that the eye was pretty much perfectly in focus but i was out tracking malleefowl all day so when saw it full size on computer screen that night I had a bit of a smile on my face. I still like it. A mate I studied with at uni really liked it so I had it blown up reasonably big and framed for him and his wife as a present. It looks nice in a nice wooden frame

Thankyou. My pleasure :)

Thanks Juanita

Thanks Barbara

Thanks mate. I’m actually pretty proud of this image, i just love it. Probably my best image i think. Brings back a few memories of sitting in the sun on a mid 40 degree day in the middle of a fly plague with flies in my ears, up my nose, in my eyes…pretty much everywhere and trying to hold the camera steady just waiting and waiting, hoping like hell that i had set the focal length right and that i would actually be quick enough to get it. Fun times though :)

Cheers Peter, much appreciated

Thanks heaps Mark. Yeah they are amazingly quick aren’t they! I just focused somewhere that I hoped would make the bird in focus as it came out of its nest burrow and crossed my fingers and tried to hold the camera still. They are so fast that even with a high speed shutter the next frame was only a little bit of the tail plume in the top left of the frame.

Thanks Marie, I just entered it so we’ll see how it goes :)

Thanks themis. Yeah they are beautiful birds aren’t they, and that red soil tops it off. I love that red soil!

Haha, yeah i think most of the east coast of Australia got some of it and everywhere in between! It was literally raining mud when we got some light rain with it.

Cool, thanks Marie

Cheers Dave. Yeah i think this is probably one of the best photos i have taken and one that i am proudest of.

Thanks Lynda :)
