Los Trios Pelicanos

Los Trios Pelicanos

This sombre trio of Pelecanus conspicillatus (Australian Pelicans) , gliding over the water in formation, was photographed from the wharf at the marina in Crowdy Head , near Harrington, NSW, Australia, on a beautiful sunny winter afternoon.

The spot metering had given me a very nice under exposure that kept the white feather detail very well and after processing the original colour image I could see the possibility of a B&W in this.

I was spending the day with a camera club mate on a day trip south of Port Macquarie and we spent some time scouring the wharf for anything with a maritime theme.

Fuji S9600: 1/1000sec @ f/8, Auto Focus, hand held.
Lightroom 1.1 & Photoshop CS3 with a good B&W conversion.

Visit the Aussie Birds collection in my BubbleSite Gallery for more fine feathered friends.

Enjoy!

    G’day Sue,

    So nice to see you on the Crowdy Head wharf taking in the sights and that you are the very first Bubbler to comment on my Aussie Pelican trio.
    Thank you so much for your most complimentary, encouraging and very Spanish ”...muy bonita!” wrap for my seabirding efforts.

    I don’t know if my Spanish is correct, I just made the title up. 8-)

    Here in Florida I would venture to say most of us have learned to speak a little “Spanglish”. I am sure we are slaughtering the Spanish language, but the purpose is to be “understood”. Personally, I enjoy it…....others are offended. Anyway, in “Spanglish” your title is just perfect. (i.e. it is understoon). In Spanish…..I really don’t know. LOL “Muy Bonita” means “very beautiful” incase you did not know.

    G’day again Sue,

    Thank you for that most helpful and interesting information. “Spanglish” is a quite apt name for the bastardisation I use when I want to sound like I know more Spanish than I really do. I do that with a lot of languages. I particularly like German as “Donner und Blitzen” sounds very Germanic. 8-)
    I had a good idea what “Muy Bonita” was as all Raman based languages sound very similar.

    GB you and yours.
