King parrot - again
King parrot_0361
Originally uploaded by gtveloce
I took a few shots of these King parrots as they fed. The free feed lured them in, then I slowly crept closer as they grew more confident in my presence. Being a shy bird they don't hang around if there's excessive noise or other threatening activity nearby - so stealthiness is important.

It started life as a 35mm transparency, then scanned and modified in Photoshop... until it became this moody, woozy sort of half-inked, half-blurred look. It could be good, I can't judge. I like it!

King parrot

Get close - first rule of photography. I guess it should be 'as close as you can, safely'. In the case of a King parrot there is little danger to you, no matter how close you get. It's more a case of how close you can get before the bird senses danger and flies away...

About Me
- Name: Robert Russell
- Location: New South Wales, Australia
Began the journey in Enmore, Sydney, Oz; drifted tectonically north after a bit to see trees and breathe air. Learnt about global warming in 1975, believed it by 1989. Warned my parents that Woy Woy would go under the waves, hasn't happened yet - but by gosh it will happen some day! Really old now, was young once. Read a few books, got too many ideas, a camera and a bike (or 10). Serial owner of Italian cars; made sense at the time. Intense. Distracted. Collected wife and kids along the way. Work in IT, because I can. Still ride and race bikes. Not overly optimistic. Live on a hill, waiting for tsunami.
