My son is currently doing a film and media course in Brisbane,and occasionally use some interesting gear.Recently he came home,and wanted to try and bag a few images for a comp,and may be do some images for post cards and book marks which he sells to visitors to our day tours on the property.
Well,the weather was awful,very cloudy with rain patches.We drove around property to a few locations that I knew might harbour something interesting,Grey Kangaroos are like mice here,so thankfully they let us get close.
The Jacky Winter (grey robin like bird) was always on the hope,but he bagged this image -with lovely bokeh (I'd like to see Rowan Atkinson saying that word
).And Bonus points right at the end of the excursion with a Varied Sittella (10 cm) long.Tiny little bird that climbs around trees,often upside down.
He really got into the 'zone' with some of these photography sessions particularly the Sittella.Also included an image I took of him taking the Jacky Winter image-yes,people are amazed at how close you have to get with a 400 mm lens,If your more than 10 metres away from a bird this size,forget it.
Hope this are of interest,any feed back or critique would be helpful for him.
cheers Chris
