On one of our last days in Tasmania we took a cruise on the Tamar River. There were so many birds to see. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t great, but I did what I could.
I’m not a bird photographer, but sometimes you just have to capture what is in front of you. I saw a lot of the White Bellied Sea Eagles which was a first for me, I think. They are the last three images.
I also tried to get more images of the birds flying, something I know I suck at. I really don’t have the lens for this kind of photography. I took all of these with my Tamron 18-300mm.
There are more but these are enough for now.
Great bird shots, especially the one coming into land (centre bottom of the gallery)
Thank you Sarah.
Well, inflight bird photography 👏👏👏👏👏. Nicely done 😁😁
Thank you Ted, I tried to see what I could get.
I have a 300mm which isn’t as good as I hoped for birds but was all I can afford
I know what you mean, I’m in the same boat. Oh well, we do what we can and crop a lot. Thank you Brian.
Nice birds.
Thank you Marland.
You’re welcome.
😀
#3 and #5–I love the bit of wing fluttering in #3, but #5…! That is a great photo, Leanne.
Thank you Lois, love it when I can get shots like that, doesn’t happen often.
I think your bird photos are really good, Leanne!
Thank you John, I don’t really know, but I enjoy having a go at it every now and then.
Leanne, you did great from a moving boat. That’s the lens I use when I go out birding with my friend. She has a lens that extends to 600 mm plus an extender! How she holds that thing is beyond me. But then, she is a wildlife photographer! I’ll stick with the Tamron lens. And buildings don’t move!
Thank you Anne. It is hard with that lens, but I don’t do it enough to warrant getting a bigger lens. Exactly, buildings like to stay still, thank goodness.
