Galah

These are some of the first shots i have taken with a recently purchased Nikon 70-200 2.8 vr. Luv This Lens:smile:
All these shots were taken at a local park, the colour of the water in the two duck images is from the reflections of near by autum trees, only a small amount of colour saturation has been added.The first duck shot was early morning & the second late afternoon. All the Galah (Pink & Grey Parrots) are late afternoon shots,cloudy.

Critique very welcome.:smile:

Dianne Hi, Thanx for your nice comments:smile: Cheers Dave.

 

Tim thanx, well pleased with this lens, now all i need is more time to use it.:smile:
Cheers Dave.

 

Barry Hi, yes i luv the water in both, there are some large Maples with rich autum colours near by. Unfortunatly i had to use a very slow shutter speed (1/20), i have added unsharp but i think there is also movement due to such a slow speed.
Cheers Dave. :smile:

 

Lisa thanx, these type do wonder around and become quite tame, however they are a pest to the farmers. but we luv them.:smile:
Cheers Dave

 

Hi Doug, Thanks for your kind words. These parrots become very use to people, in fact there were two persons hitting golf balls from one end of the park to the other and walking about 5 metres away from the parrots without them taking flight, while i was taking these pics.Australia yep! wonderful country and i've only seen a very small portion of it.
Thanx Again, Cheers Dave.:smile:

 

Thanx Gale, there was about a 100 of them at the park that day, how many would you like...LOL
Cheers Dave:smile:
