Seagulls and Pelicans

We went out yesterday to go fishing off the boat but due to motor problems we didn't get to go fishing but I took some photos of the seagulls and pelicans. With the blurry ones because they were flying I played with some artistic effects on Photoshop.

The last 2 photos are of the gutsy pelican who took all the fish scraps I threw in the water.
thanks for stopping by for a look.

Burns Beach

Hi there,
last night I went to Burns Beach with the Friends in Focus group and took photos of the sunset and the water on the rocks. Unfortunately there was a hair on my lens so every photo had it in the middle. I did manage to crop a couple down. It was a lovely evening on the beach.

I love the soft water effect you get with a slow shutter speed.
I will be back with some of seagulls.
have a good week

Sarah and Claire

hi there,
Its been awhile since I popped in here to show you some photos. I have had the opportunity to have a practice photo shoot with my friend Sue's grand daughters. Sarah and Claire allowed me to photograph them to learn a little about portrait photography. We had a fun afternoon in Sue's garden. Let me know what you think of these photos. Aren't they lovely girls.

I took so many photos so found it hard to pick just 3. I hope they like what I have done. I am looking forward to having more photo-shoots in the future.

Its been awhile....

hi  there,
I didn't realise how long it had been since I posted here. I have taken so many photos but neglected to post any. Well I had better remedy that. These are a few photos of the Osprey Eagle at Geraldton. I borrowed someones zoom lens for a few minutes and got the close up one. The nest was on top of a pole. It was interesting watching and waiting to get that great shot.

I was pretty happy to get one of it coming in to land on the branch.
I hope you have enjoyed this lovely sunny Sunday.
thanks for taking a look

Steps and more Steps

Hi there,
 here are a few photos of the steps in and out of Beedilup Falls. I have real trouble with stairs due to arthritis but I was determined to make it in there to take the photos of the falls. My sister Sue took a photo of me to prove I actually made it.

I am going away on a photographic weekend with my friend Chris this weekend. It is up in Geraldton so we should get some nice photos of orchids and wildflowers. I am really looking forward to it. I will have lots of photos to show you next week.

Visiting Manjimup

Hi there,
At the moment I am down in Manjimup visiting my family. Even though it is cold it is so nice with the sun shining inbetween  the showers.
Sue and I went down to Beedilup Falls on Tuesday afternoon and we took some really lovely photos.

 The falls from the swing bridge. I found it hard to keep the bridge still with the tripod set up. I couldnt move a muscle or the bridge would move.

 On the way back up to the car I saw this puddle and snapped a great reflection.

On the road home from town to the farm I stopped for a sunset shot. If you look carefully there are sheep in the paddock.

I'll be back to show you more when I get back to Perth.

Orangutan and Baby at Perth Zoo

Hi there,
While at Perth Zoo last month I managed to capture this mother Orangutan helping her baby from one area over to where she was. It was such a wonderful moment to see.It was very high up and I was just in the right place at the right time to see it.

There are 2 more photos in the sequence but my computer isn't allowing me to upload them so will try again later.

Until next time
Andrea
