Tell me a secret…

Tell me a secret...

This portrait of my daughter and her mini horse was taken with a Canon 60D and 70-200mm f/2.8L lens, and processed   with Florabella LUXE Gypsy Photoshop action.

The great thing about using a telephoto lens is that you can be ready to capture a close-up of that perfect moment, even from a distance. The kids don’t notice you are photographing them, and you get great un-posed candid shots like these. If you don’t have a telephoto zoom yet, download my free DSLR Buyer’s Guide (see top right of this page) for lens recommendations.

Sydney Photos Canon 60D

A few favorite shots form my recent trip to Sydney Australia.

The Peacock photo was one of my favorites – Canon 60D with 70-200mm f/2.8L set to 200mm, ISO 320, f/3.5 and 1/200th sec shutter speed. A couple other shots from Taronga Zoo including the view of Sydney Harbour including the famous Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge.And 2 photos from the northern beaches (Palm beach and Bilgola).

Bird Photos: The Most Colorful Ones

I took these Photos of Rainbow Lorikeets in Sydney Australia on my recent trip. The couple were wild birds that visited my friends railing every day.

The photos were taken with a Canon 60D and 70-200mm f/2.8L lens (the close shot was at 200mm). For bird photos you want to use above a 100mm and in most cases 300mm and above. Somewhat tame birds are the exception to 300mm and above. I would have had trouble fitting their heads in the frame at 300mm 🙂

You may have noticed the new Pinterest “Pin it” button ABOVE my posts lately. If you are on Pinterest please share any of my posts on your board. Click the button then choose an Image to Share – Sometimes you will get image choices that look the same – choose the one that is bigger (like 400 x 600 not 40 x 20). Thanks!
