Carnaby's Black Cockatoo, Kings Park, Perth, Western Australia. K-1 with Pentax D-FA 150-450 f4.5-5.6

Adrian, that is an awesome capture of a very interesting bird! Well done!

FWIW, I used to keep Goffins... always found it comical how they were considered a nuisance up your way, and exotic over here. Smart little buggers. Mine talked up a storm, more than my friends A Gray.

Very scenic, I'm cold just looking. The frost on the trees sorta reminds of infra-red look.

Agreed. Nice pictures Franc....I can "hear" the crunch of frosty ground under your feet.

Another image from everybody-now-knows-where. Rock was not as red at this spot. The vehicle is dwarfed by the cliff.

That is awesome!

frozen this morning

Love those fine shots.....made me put my jacket on and it's 82F in my office!

It was dark this morning when I first looked out my office windows. On the Cheater Branch I could barely see what looked like a fat dove or maybe a Robin...about 30 feet away. Turned to TAv and set the speed at 1/80....

Now it is not spectacular, but what impresses is that the focus was instant, even in the very low light. And even at 1/80 and hand-holding the big ol' Bigma, it stayed fairly sharp.

1/80 ISO 12,800 f6.3 @ 500mm handheld I see he wasn't interested in the Peanut Butter Tree sap...but he did bring his own little lunch!


Nothing special, just having some fun....fun is special!

Regards!

I like the softbox lighting on your macro very much, might have to steal that idea, but may do a lazy mans version of it. I have a softbox type hood for my flash somewhere around here... I just hate to use it because you have to use sticky velcro on your flash and it never comes off clean... maybe rubber bands will hold it enough?

Did you have extension tube, or crop a lot, or does the ART really get in that tight? If so, wow!

Very nice set Frederick, you even make fish on crackers look great... heh.

...And, Rupert won't have to print out coloring books and give crayons to Otis anymore. Winning! :-)

Wonderfully moody images.

Why would you have to? Especially the first photograph of yours has its very own qualities. The natural soft light, serene reflections and the old ruins surrounded by nature appeal to me with their "earthy" qualities, in a very different way than the man-made eye-candy of artificial light and hyper-modern architecture blended in fog.

Mine holds right and goes off easily
