Hello,
On Saturday we drove to the
Port of Brisbane Visitor Centre where a bird reserve has been established. We saw heaps of Pelicans, Spoonbills, Cormorants and other water fowl.
I had the WO 80mm F7 ED II Apo and the trusty old Pentax *ist DS. Here are some photos of a Spoonbill having a flutter at the waters edge. The bird was approx 80 metres away from where I was shooting. Provided I keep the shutter speed to 1/1000 sec or faster, the photos are quite sharp from the WO ‘scope. Anything slower and I see the effects of vibrations from the mirror slap as it flips up, even with the built-in 2.5 sec delay.
These photos are cropped heavily from the full frame.
Cheers
Dennis
