October 16th - Splash!
Looking forward to the All Blacks thumping France next week now that they've beaten Australia today.
We had a little stroll round Graves Park this afternoon looking for the elusive grey heron (that's both yesterday and today - nothing both days!). I decided to have a go at catching the ducks as they were stretching their wings - it's not that easy! First you have to spot which one's going to do it and then get focussed quickly as they don't hang around when they do it - it's over in the blink of an eye! The light wasn't great - I'd have liked a faster shutter speed with a lower ISO to reduce the noise in the shot, but this was the best I could do in today's conditions. Definitely one I'd go back to and try again.
