Falling back on the ol' archives as the bayou has been a distant memory, but I remember this gang quite well!! Some of my winter time visitors on the bayou that allowed me to get fairly close!! American White Pelicans on Horsepen Bayou!

It's not just me they tolerate....

This reminds me of the dentist birds in Egypt that clean detritus from the teeth of Nile crocodiles. Nature has some interesting and unlikely symbiotic relationships.

Knapp Wedding - Gravenhurst, Canada - September 2015

A 50mm fixed lens is more work at times but I like it.

I was very happy to be able to visit the African or Jackass penguin colony at Stony Point, at Betty's Bay - there were hundreds of penguins and other seabirds. This is an adult indulging in a quiet moment grooming itself.

I'm about to contradict myself......

Last week I posted a bird image taken with such shallow DOF that only the bird's eyes were in focus. I said that this was one of the earliest "rules" of bird and portrait photography that I learnt.

View this image Large and you'll see that the eyes are not in focus... but; I think it looks great and works against that rule thanks to the fact that the bird was perched partly hidden amongst the leaves of the tree and it was facing backwards first! Also I wanted to show the feather detail and grooming behavior without the distraction a deeper DOF would have given.

Hope you like it!!
