Pink Robin - G'day all, I hope you are all well in

Pink Robin - G'day all, I hope you are all well in your part of the world. Just thought I would share this photo from an enjoyable session with mates a few years back. When shooting in these dark scenes noise can be an issue. If you are interested to know how I deal with noise I have recently uploaded a new video to YouTube (Link in Bio) you may find interesting.
Have a great weekend everyone. Cheers, Duade 👍

Flame Robin - We often overlook the females for the flashy males, but I was very happy to photograph this beautiful female Flame Robin in my last video. The Flames turn up around this time and it is always nice to see them. This shot was taken with my trusty old 400 5.6. If you want to see how I took this please feel free to check out my video on YouTube (Link in Bio) Cheers, Duade

Purple Swamphen - I hope everyone is well, one of the wonders of photography is its ability to trigger memories and emotions.
This shot makes me smile as it reminds me of a very good friend who is no longer with us. He was always looking to capture behaviour above all else, I think he would have liked this shot.
Cheers, Duade

Mallee Ringneck - This stunning bird features in my latest YouTube video (link in bio) where I talk about the steps I follow when photographing birds. Taken during a fun trip with @gerard_satherley and @jan_wegener last year.

Jacky Winter - I loved the inquisitive pose of this little guy/girl. The least colourful of the Robin family but one of the most charismatic. Taken during my latest YouTube video (link in bio).

Glossy Black Cockatoo - I just uploaded a video reviewing my 400 5.6(link in bio) lens and I showcase a few images I have taken with it over the years, this is one such image. A beautiful bird that I was lucky to see at my old property on the coast.
It's funny how we often take local birds for granted and it's not until we move and can no longer see them that we realise how lucky we were. Guess the only bonus is I now have new birds I didn't see before.🤔👍 Cheers, Duade

Great Egret - Photo from my latest YouTube video(link in bio) where I actually used 3 exposures and stitched them together in lightroom. The bird got too big in the frame and I wanted the reflection in the shot. Cheers, Duade

Superb Fairy-wren - The boys are starting to lose their breeding plumage as autumn approaches. So I thought I would grab a few shots before they do. I hope everyone is having a great weekend and doing things you love with friends and family. Cheers, Duade

Black-fronted Dotterel - Another shot from my latest YouTube video (link in bio), I had the pleasure of spending time with this bird as it preened and chilled out. Great little birds that are liking the low lake levels.

Purple Swamphen - A really fun moment from my latest YouTube video (link in bio) when this Swamphen landed nearby and proceeded to jump up and down on the spot. This week I talk about using a ground pod to get nice low angle shots. I hope you enjoy. Cheers, Duade

Eastern Bristlebird - It's always nice when a bird picks its own perch in nice light. Even better when it's an endangered bird that likes to skulk around in the thick heath. I took this many years ago(2013), and only looked at this image as this species was impacted by recent fires and I was contacted for this image. Its always nice to look at old images and reflect on the good time with friends capturing it.👍

Jacky Winter - A resident Robin on the property is the charismatic Jacky. Whilst they lack the colour of their counterparts they make up for it with character. I don't seem to take that many BIF shots but this bird was coming in to land and I managed this shot. I hope those in the rain affected areas of Australia are safe and well. What a crazy time for Australia in regards to extreme weather. Strangely we have not had a drop of rain yet.

Eastern Grey Kangaroo - Bloody teenagers never want to leave home these days.😂😁 I couldn't resist grabbing the camera when I saw this scene out the front of the house this evening. Cheers, Duade

Eurasian Coot - Another shot from my recent video

Eurasian Coot - Another shot from my recent video (link in bio). I still enjoy photographing common species and I highly recommend any beginners out there to do the same. I think my brain is conditioned to the shutter noise and releases feel good chemicals when I hear it. 😁I am a little worried when I eventually move to digital that I will miss that noise.

White-necked Heron - Sometimes we get caught up in the gear race always wanting the latest and greatest. I wanted to challenge myself to use an old 10mp camera from 2007 and the first lens I ever purchased. I created a video (link in bio) showing how I went. This shot was captured using the "budget gear" and hopefully shows even with a modest budget you can acquire gear that allows you to enjoy bird photography. Cheers, Duade --

Pink Robin - I feature this little beauty in my latest video on removing noise from images(Link in bio).
We are so lucky to have such an amazing looking bird in Australia. I always wonder how they ended up such a vibrant colour. Taken on an epic trip with good friends which made it even better.👍

Eastern Yellow Robin - I took this 6 years ago on my old 7D, it had way too much noise to do much with. I recently started using Topaz Denoise and it works amazing at removing noise. I have uploaded a new YouTube video (Link in Bio) showing how I removed noise from this image. I hope you find it useful.

Hooded Robin - I spent a lovely morning with this male, his partner and daughter. I am very lucky to have a breeding pair on the property and they seem to be doing well.
As you can see his plumage is very similar to the Black Honeyeater I posted recently. I often wonder how these birds ended up the colours they are.
Hope everyone has a good weekend and those in Australia can escape the heat.

Crested Shrike-tit - What a wonderful surprise this morning when this stunner turned up. Not uncommon in these parts but a first for my property. This species uses its bill to peel back bark looking for prey, you often hear them before you see them.

Black Honeyeater - A very rare visitor to the property is this nomadic Honeyeater. It was a real surprise to see it as I didn't think there was much flowering at the moment. This is the male with the black head. Funny how it's plumage is very similar to the Hooded Robin. Taken with @chrismorecroft during a great session. --
