Couple of Birds

[Alan]

From the Alice Springs Desert Park

Banded Lapwing



Inland Dotterel



Both with D7000 and Tamron 16-300mm

Great colours in #1 Alan. Nice and sharp too. The little dotterel is camouflaged well into that inhospitable country.

Thanks Greg. The light was a bit frustrating - but still disappointed I couldn't work with it better. Not many keepers from my time at the park

Tempting to blame the Tamron too

[Isac]

I heard a long time ago that a tradesman should never blame his tools.

[Alan]

I just said "tempting"

That lens sometimes produces something I can work with

[Isac]

Tempting is OK. I'm sometimes tempted to make a wise crack to the missus but it's easier to just sip on my cuppa and look out the window.

dont mind the lapwing.
good angles and light. low eyepoint always lifts these shots.

wonder if the saturation isnt a tad high, could just be shadow of course

davidvilla asked what camera I was using but I can't see his post now, maybe he found the info under the photos?

[Isac]

They are a video marketing company .. I'd steer clear of them.
