Fishing at Woodman Point Jetty

Woodman Point Jetty, busy with fisherman and Pelicans.

These two pelicans were hoping for a free feed, but unfortunately the fish weren’t coming to the party!

For this shot I thought I’d try a different composition – too many of landscape my shots are in landscape orientation!

Australian Pelican in Flight on the Swan River

On the weekend I ventured down to the Swan River, and found a dozen Australian Pelicans. This guy had just leapt out of the water, beginning his search for some mid-morning breakfast.

The Australian Pelican is a fascinating bird, which claims to have the longest bill of any living bird.

Commonly having a wingspan of 2.3-2.6 metres, these birds glide through the air almost effortlessly.

Location: Swan River, Perth, Western Australia

I am constantly surprised by the beauty I see while riding my bike along the Swan River through South Perth and Kings Park!

Golden Shine

The sun sets over Southbank in Melbourne.

I took this shot using my nifty fifty during Trey Ratcliff’s Melbourne Photowalk back in January.

The walk had over 200 people attend, which made it quite easy to put a few people in the frame for this shot.

Last night I attended the Williamstown City View photography walk by DJB Photography.

I had a great time meeting new people and experimenting with my camera’s manual mode.

A Sulphur-crested Cockatoo’s Morning Flight

I snapped this Sulphur-crested Cockatoo’s morning flight over Lake Mulwala in Yarrawonga on the weekend.

This shot was taken just after sunrise, when there were literally hundreds of cockatoos flying around and making lots of noise!

My lens was at full zoom (400mm) for this shot, and I also had to crop the photo a little.

Location: Lake Mulwala, Victoria, Australia

Sunrise at Lake Mulwala, Victoria

Last weekend I visited Yarrawonga, staying in a house that overlooked Lake Mulwala.

Throughout the weekend I experimented with my new Big Stopper filter, which allowed a 26 second exposure time to capture this shot during a morning sunrise.

Overall I’m very happy with the Big Stopper, which is a 10 stop ND filter.

Location: Lake Mulwala, Victoria, Australia
