No new birds in the sanctuary, so I had some of the oldtimers pose for me:

    Nice shots. How about shooting lower..as in waders and shooting as close to water level as possible.

    These are good shots but they are all shot looking down at the subject. Shooting under the subject is almost impossible here but shooting at the level of the subjects would separate these shots from many many others.

    IMHO,

    Thanks Stephen - BiFs are the flavour of the month (year? decade? :D) down here, so I'm trying something different.

    Thanks for comments Dave. Unfortunately, these were taken in a bird sanctuary, so you have to stay on the walkways, which means you can't get too much lower without getting in everyone else's way ne_nau.gif

    Nice work on the reflection images. I wish that yellow billed duck had given you a better head angle though.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"
