Photography Thread 2024

I moved house - terrifying rental crisis & all that, so Ive been working really hard, and hustled enough to get a mortgage with one of my son's, and we literally bought the cheapest place in town. I was really uncertain, but as soon as we moved in I loved it! weepiper there is so much birdlife! Lorakeets, cockatoo, ibis, owls ( tawny frog mouth I think) cookaburras, galas, cranes, parrots, butcher birds all sorts - there's a little stream at the bottle of the garden and lots of trees which will flower in spring. I need a camera with a good lens, even though they all come close.

The stream looks ' rusty' but it's clear water running over red clay, and there's a lot of croaking at night time.IMG_20240818_165715871_HDR.jpgIMG_20240818_165910465_HDR~2.jpgIMG_20240818_165704798.jpgIMG_20240818_165823151_HDR.jpgIMG_20240818_165757745_HDR.jpgIMG_20240818_165741044.jpgIMG_20240818_165818001_HDR.jpgIMG_20240818_165814000_HDR.jpg

These are on the bird watching thread but putting them here too because I'm so pleased at getting quite decent but technically difficult shots in the circumstances (strong backlight, manual everything including focus except white balance which was a preset)

weepiper they are really good. I can't talk about the technical skill other than when I've tried to use actual cameras I've found it a bit overwhelming, but to my untrained eye they look great. I love owls as well.
