a photo every day for a year
I continued to try to capture the lorikeets flying. I learned a bit from seeing how fast they were… I nearly froze this one, not perfectly, but I quite like it anyway.
This is one of the Lorikeets I mentioned earlier… and it’s also the tree I mentioned that attracts the birds. I spent the morning trying to catch the birds flying, but the only decent photos were the ones I got in the tree.
I love how this bird looks like he’s telling another bird off for something!
This is a Lorikeet flying away from our building.
Lorikeets are pretty common in Australia. Like rabbits, they tend to come out at the start and end of the day, and there’s someone in our building that has a nice tree and puts out bird feed to attract them. I’ve tried to capture them in flight, but they’re bloody fast! I quite like the abstract nature of this photo though: it looks like a painting despite little post-processing, and it seems to emphasise that they actually are quite quick, and beautifully colourful.
I’d noticed a lot of butterflies fluttering around our apartment building and really wanted to capture a photo of one, but I didn’t find any on this afternoon. So I settled for some magpies that were hiding in the trees out back.
I wasn’t thrilled with any of the photos that I got, but the depth of field with the leaves and the demeanour of the bird are a bit interesting.
