About Me
- Name: Printz
- Location: Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
I came to photography rather late in life. Almost too late. Consequently, all my photographs are "Limited Edition" prints. I enjoy observing people and the environment. Using a digital camera avoids the messy and unhealthy use of darkrooms and chemicals, although it does involve spending many hours in front of the computer screen. You can see more of my photos at :http://www.pbase.com/royjackward or http://www.flickr.com/photos/royjackward/

Thats a nice photo, though I was wondering could you have used Macro setting and got in a bit closer or did you want to show the surrounding reeds as a backdrop. Must be a really tiny bird this one :)
Thanks for your comments.
These birds are very small (about 17cm) and difficult to see most of the time as they perch in the reeds and grasses at the edge of the water.
I couldn't get any closer than this and I was using a 500mm tele.Also, I was inside the restaurant and had to take it through the glass window. Lucky to have got anything usable at all.
