The view to enjoy while having a cuppa beside the river at Heritage Park, Kitchener.
...and when walking the bushland tracks nearby, the sounds of Black Cockatoos could be heard. Every now and then, a glimpse of several flying through the tall gum trees. Eventually got lucky to find two had taken refuge up in the old gum tree.
while I needed a low f-stop selection to let enough light in to see their darkened shapes against dark branches in the shadows; the light in the background causes havoc. Does this mean I should use a minus exposure setting as well?
I easily get confused, I'd think if I did that, then the whole photo would suffer? Clues? Those who are not so settings-combinations challenged? Then again, I hardly had time to try and perfect the settings - how long before they'd take flight again? Just keep snapping ... and hope.
oops, I think I stepped on a twig
