Have just spent 8 days in Coral Bay, the weather unfortunately was not on my side with winds gusting up to 35 knots on a couple of the days. Ningaloo Reef looked like the outer reef with large white caps rolling in. Had a great time anyway and was able to get out and see…

Yes it was an amazing experience Lex. You dont get those often.
This was one of the highlights of my trip Peta.
Awesome shots
Thanks Merv
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.

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

Thanks Leigh, yes it was an amazing experience to get so close to these beautiful birds.
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 Mark, It was amazing watching and I will post a few more Brolga shots shortly. It really pays off getting up early…sometimes…
Great set of shots Peta and oooh so sharp!
I particularly like the Brolga mating dance shots…way cool!
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
Merv
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 Pete, Yes the 400mm was used for all the Osprey shots. Thought i was going to get blown off the car roof.
Pete Hodgson - Shame about the weather, but those Osprey shots are really nice as are the rest . Just go’s to show there is always something to photograph. Which lens did you use for these ? The 400mm.
