A nice Brolga collection there Peta.
I walked into a gorge for a sunrise shoot and came across two Broglas feeding. I was able to get fairly close and watch them dance and forage along the bank. Brolga and other cranes have elaborate courtship displays. This mating dance is what Brolgas are most famous for. With wings spread and facing each…

Thank you Louise, it was very special to get so close to the Brolgas, usually they get scared and fly off.

Peta I just love these shots!
You have captured these birds beautifully.
Brolga Dance 1 would have to be my favorite out of all them.
Just wish I was there!

Thanks Merv, it was a great trip, good weather and a great bunch of photographers. Yes I love HDR…sometimes you cant be everywhere at the crack of dawn or for sunset so HDR comes in so handy to shoot in the middle of the day.

Hi Peta
Love all these bird shots , they are fantastic.
The bungle bungle’s and the goanna up close and personal are terrific as well.
Still into a little HDR as well I see.
You must have had a great trip.
Good stuff

Thanks, they were taken with the 400mm and at times I wish I had a smaller lens as they walked up so close. It was amazing to watch these beautiful birds dance and feed. The best way to spend a very early morning…

Hey Peta these images are fantastic, are these shot with the 400mm ?
Good to hear the Gibb River trip was a roaring success as well.

Peta - Thanks for that and the comments and point taken….
Dan - Great photos though I must say. Great composition and angles
Dan - Color is spelt colour in Australia. We speak and write the Queens English not the USA misspellings.
True North Mark - Cracker shots Peta…I love em all!
I think the fav is the one with the person in the gorge and the colours in all the images have great colours!
