Gentoo are the fastest swimmers out of the penguin species. Even in

the enclosure at the Melbourne Aquarium they were a challenge to

photograph.

This male Gang Gang Cockatoo was enjoying a feed of wattle seeds in

my backyard at Tidal River in Wilsons Promontory National Park. I

photograhed him with Agfachrome 100 with my Minolta X500 and a

Tamron SP 300mm f2.8 lens.

I prefered this image as a split toned B&W image. Originally taken in

colour.

Damselflies when viewed face to face remind me of aliens from

outerspace.

This bird of prey (a black shouldered kite) was hovering as it looked

for its prey usually small mammals, reptiles and insects.

I like the angle that you have taken this photo at. This dragonfly's eyes are a wonderful colour and the netlike quality of the wings has been captured well.

My first serious work with my e510 digital olympus camera - I used a

tokina 17mm md mount lens with an adapter.
