MOLLOY ISLAND BIRDS

Friday, January 7, 2011

For new year I went to Molloy Island, if you want a complete break and love boating or canoeing then this is a must.  Molloy Island is located on the Scott River and Blackwood River and about a 10km drive from Augusta.   If you have accommodation you can take your car across on the barge or there is a camp site on the mainland side.  Lots of birds and good bush walking tracks and plenty of places to paddle.

True North Mark - You are da bird girl Peta!

Nicely done on on shots!

January 10, 2011 - 2:19 am

Peta - Thanks Merv, I could sit for hours just watching the Wrens, the male always seems to have four or five females in tow….

January 10, 2011 - 1:48 am

mervfrench - Good stuff Peta.
Really like those top 2 Robin shots and the Red Winged Wrens ( 3&4), and the parrots look ready to cause havoc on some fruit.

Merv.

Peta - Thanks Pete, yes all the birds looked really healthy.

January 9, 2011 - 9:00 am

Pete Hodgson - A nice little collection of bird pics Peta, I particularly like the wrens and I have never seen a 28 parrot looking so good.

Cheers Pete.

WHALE SHARK ENCOUNTER – EXMOUTH

Wednesday, December 29, 2010

Well another year is coming to a close so I thought I would post a series of photos that have a special meaning to me.  I was out snorkelling with the whale sharks and it was the last one for the day and only a few of us jumped in.  The whale shark  was slowly making his way past  when suddenly he turned and put on a performance, he dived and then turned over a coupe of times then came up vertically and then carried on his way.  It probably lasted for  only a few minutes but it has been etched in mind forever.  I was using slide film and  had a 24-120 lens on which I had to zoom  back to the 24mm end because he was so close, and that  is not a good focal length to use  in a flat port and I didn’t have a chance to alter any settings so they are not technically great but the experience was something I will never forget,

Have a great New Year.

Peta - Hi Colleen
Not sure but we know he is a young male, so it could be he was just curious. As far as I know this is very rare occurrence.

February 18, 2011 - 12:55 pm

Colleen Treloggen - Do you know why it was swimming upside down? Is it unusual?

January 14, 2011 - 1:02 pm

Peta - Thanks Nigel…I would love a housing for the D3

January 14, 2011 - 12:08 pm

Nigel Gaunt - Nice sequence of shots oh for 3200 iso under water!

January 10, 2011 - 2:10 am

Jamie Paterson - Wow Peta,

This is so cool. I just love the fact that it has put on a show for you. I’d love to head over to Tonga one day where they let you swim with and photograph the Humpbacks.

Have a great 2011.

Jamie

True North Mark - I can see that would have been a very cool experience Peta and I can also relate with having to work with the settings you have when things happen fast!

Have a great 2011!

RED BULL LIGHTHOUSE TO LEIGHTON KITESURFING

Sunday, December 12, 2010

What a line up as all the kite surfers took off from Rottnest for the crossing to Leighton Beach in the inaugural Red Bull Lighthouse to Leighton, presented by the WA Kitesurfing Association (WAKSA).  I couldn’t believe how fast they were travelling and Alex Caizergues won the race in 24 mins.

LIGHTHOUSE TO LEIGHTON KITESURFING 11TH DECEMBER 2010 Slide Show 1

Saturday, December 11, 2010

Thanks to everyone who has emailed and called in regards to the photos that I have taken of the Lighthouse to Leighton Kitesurfing race. I am putting up four lots of slideboxes with one photo from a sequence set.  What this means is that if you see your kite in one of the pics I might have another one or six in that set.  You should be able to see a slide number and if you let me know by email or phone which one you are in I can then let you know how many others I may have of you.
