Birds From Perth

SilverStallion · 16th February 2006

Hiya,

This is first time posting in here. Here's my first few attempts on my Nikon D50 with 55-200mm lens.

I've yet to find out the specie name of this duck, but this was taken at King's park near Perth City.

A seagull catching the cool breeze. Photo taken by the riverside of Fremantle Bridge.

Pls do comment ^-^

Hi hamtaro,

First one is not bad, Second one would look better if you crop it more.

Welcome to Clubsnap..!!

Like the first and agree with Reno's comments on the second... Second shot could do with some brightness adjustment....

Love to see more.

hmm... looks familiar. Love the mood and the feel of the second one but I suppose it could be presented differently for a stronger composition.

Cheers,

p.s. Welcome to clubsnap!

The first pics is nice and sharp. I like the contrast too. And also nice bokeh.

Hi Angel,

Your first bird is a Pacific Black Duck (Anas superciliosa), a very common duck that resides in parks and gardens. Your second is another very common bird, the silver gull (Larus novaehollandiae). Good catch.
