If you use off camera flash you probably need a good quality cold shoe to mount it on a lightstand. The Doc has written a Guide on choosing a cold shoe here. All the links were updated today.

The Guide to choosing an umbrella flash bracket can be found here.

From a recent trip to drought ravaged Tenterfield.

Endangered Diamond Firetail

November 26, 2019Australia, birds, NSW, Uncategorised, Wildlifeadmin

From a recent to Tenterfield, despite dust and smoke being everywhere. This finch is classified as Near Threatened in the wild, so in a bit of danger. Popular in aviaries though, I wonder why!

Brush turkey

Some images of the brush turkey. Not the best looking Australian bird, but he was busy tearing up the garden mulch trying to get it to nearby bushland to make a mound.

Destroying the gardens at Smugglers on the Beach at Coffs Harbour, where I am staying for a few days.

The Doc is still around. He is just back from Mount Zero Taravale an AWC Sanctuary near Townsville Far North Queensland. Report to follow.

The Doc has been working on macro images, plus some long neglected domestic chores, like updating the laundry and replacing the air con.

There were some technical problems with the Blog which he fixed today allowing him to post once again.

The Doc has been working on his macro technique. This time Post Focus has been brought indoor to create backlit leaves. A cheap LED panel is used to backlit the leaves from the bottom. Samples of recent images are below, enjoy. Click on images to see full size.

PS The Doc working on a further update to the last trip through Channel Country which is now in flood.
