SMOKEYDOGSOCKS
WOW, BEAUTIFUL PHOTO. THE BLUES ARE SO VIBRANT, THE FOCUS IS SO SHARP AND THE COLOR CONTRAST BETWEEN THE BEAK AND FEATHERS IS GREAT. THIS ONE WENT STRAIGHT INTO MY FAVORITES. IT REMINDS ME OF THE HYACYNTH PAROT THAT WAS SITTING ON MY RIGHT SHOULDER, CLAMPED DOWN ON MY NOSE WITH HIS HUGE BEAK FOR ABOUT 15 SECONDS. I KNEW I BETTER NOT JERK MY HEAD BACK OR HE WOULD HAVE RIPPED MY NOSE OFF MY FACE. I DIDN’T BLAME THE BIRD OWNER, AFTER ALL IT WAS JUST A LOVE BITE, HE COULD HAVE DONE REAL DAMAGE. WHAT REALLY MADE ME MAD WAS THE FACT THE THE WOMAN THAT WAS WITH ME THAT DAY, HAD MY CAMCORDER IN HER HANDS AND DIDN’T EVEN TURN IT ON, LET ALONE TAKE A VIDEO OF THE BIRD ON MY SHOULDER. HECK, THAT COULD HAVE BEEN A $100,000.00 WINNER ON FUNNIEST VIDEOS. LOL BOB
khosie replied
Bob you are a man after my own heart!!! This bird didn;t bite me… but the galah I have photos of did!! It sat on my shoulder like a pirate while I was taking photos of the bird above. I eventually convinced it to get off my shoulder so I could take photos of it. It finally did and I thought we were best mates and then the little bugger bit me. I laughed though cos I was like you and thought… ok well deserved hehehhe. Thanks so much for your lovely comment. PS I love your caps!!
rossco
This image just “HAS IT” what a wonderful capture.Superb image indeed.
khosie replied
Thanks rossco for your awesome comment :O)
bongo
Pretty amazing shot
khosie replied
Thanks Bongo!
Nathan v.D
wow, this is amazing. Iv been trying to get some shots like this my self and was wondering what lens and settings are you using?
khosie replied
Hi Nathan, It was a Nikon 60mm Macro lens. As for the settings it was F7.1 and 1/200 of a second. The 60mm lens has a really shallow depth of field. Some people have recommended the 105mm but the 60mm is far cheaper!! I was lucky the bird was really close :O)
khosie
I just want to say a big thanks to everyone for your lovely comments on this photo. It’s been overwhelming but at the same time so lovely to receive such positive feedback. All my photos aren’t as good as this but every now and then I seem to find something that clicks with people. I take photos because I enjoy doing it. When people like them… well that is just a bonus! Thanks again everyone. This has been an unexpected joy :O)
tigerwings
Great Detail and Clarity…Is this a type of Lorie?
khosie replied
I thought it was just a pretty bird! (yup not really into the technical details just yet hehehhe but apparently i think it is according to those who have commented a rainbow lorrikeet) Thanks for your lovely comment!

khosie replied

Julie Miles
Gorgeous! Can I be an ignorant American and ask what kind of bird he is?
khosie replied
Hi Julie! You aren’t an “ignorant american!” I had no idea what bird it was I had taken a photo of!!! I think i said “oooh here’s a photo of a pretty bird!” Apparently it is a Rainbow Lorekeet. The reason I know this is thanks to the gorgeous people above who have commented! Thanks for your lovely words!
Trevor Needham
Hey khosie – you already know I love this one, now I’ve made it a favourite!
khosie replied
Thanks for the comment! So glad you joined up!
Julie Miles
Oh, that’s a relief…he is a pretty bird, though, and obviously wanted his picture taken. (I’ll assume it’s a he since the males of bird species tend to be the colorful ones.)
John Wright
Amazing color. The blue is just beautiful. He’s quite a ham.
khosie replied
Thanks John. I actually didn’t think much of the photo when I first took it but have been convinced otherwise since i put it up on here and everyone liked it!

khosie replied
thanks heaps for your comment Alex! I honestly wasn’t even going to put this one up on redbubble. I was like “oh yeah it’s ok” I don’t think I understood how this photo would be appreciated by people. Funny isn’t it. This one photo has been so popular and yet it was one I was like “oh yeah i think it’s ok but…” hehehhe
khosie replied

Liar Liar Pants on Fire!! You are a legend!! Your photos are amazing!!
Houndstooth St...
Haha, stop it or i will end up with an ego! I won an award once (though this isnt the point of me telling this story, haha, else it seems would sound like the ego has already arrived) and when i got home that day my partner, who was very proud of me, said “You’re never too much of a star to clean the cat toilet….it smells”. So i cleaned the cat toilet! The whole thing cracked me up, and is a quote to live by me thinks! :)
