Re: Easter Photo Challenge

Ok from Friday 22 April through to Monday the 2nd of May.

and these are the challenges:
1. the most artistic shot - so think about that photo.
2. Rarities, specials etc - who can nail that that bird everyone wants.
3. your super duper raptor shot.

Re: Easter Photo Challenge

Imax, I will be targetting the rarities, I hope that the Sandpiper is still at Kei Mouth, the LBB Gull at Orient, and the Franklin's at Cape Recife. I also hope to get a decent shot of a Forest Buzzard for the raptor effort. My brother's the artist, not me, so we'll have to see if the camera can do something arty on its own!

Cheers

Niall.

Re: Easter Photo Challenge

We are off to Lower Sabie tomorrow. Apparently the bush is very lush so looking forward to great sightings. I will use the flash if the light is too bad but really hoping for some sun.
