New Photo’s Added to Gallery - Morning Walk
Sunday, July 20th, 2008I went for a walk one early morning during the week, with camera ready, to see what was out and about to photograph. I walked along the bike-track near where i live, one of my favorite local spots to walk and photograph birds.. conveniently close is always nice.
Tip: Always try and find time to explore your local area.. you might be suprised at what you find to photograph, and may not need to venture too far for good photo subjects.
This particular area near me is a mix of grasslands and wetlands, with a creek/inlet/outlet running out to the sea (Moreton Bay).. this makes for an interesting mix of birds from all sorts of different habitats to be seen, and if i’m lucky, photograph. See attached photo below for a pic of the landscape.
(Post-process method - photoshopped out a couple of annoying lamp posts using healing brush, slight saturation adjustment, slight blue gradient to sky, sharpened, resized)
I saw several species of birds while walking… this is usually the case at this location, especially if you have some patience and hang around long enough.
Tip: If theres not a lot of wildlife action around to photograph, sometimes being patient and waiting for the wildlife to come to you can be just as rewarding as walking in search, not to mention a lot less tiring.
Some i managed to photograph are attached in the rest of the post. Keep reading if you want to see them.. (more…)
