the flash reflection from the glass ruins
many photos. His suggestion was not
an expensive polaroid filter or flash light,
he said it’s best to photograph it before
getting it framed, but if it is framed, to try
his suggestion. “I always carry two pieces
of an old milk carton about the size of
a credit card, taped together around the
edges, and then hold it over the flash to
stop that flash back.”
I picked out the photos for this article
as they rolled around on his computer
screen - needless to say he has hundreds
to choose from.
This article has mainly been about
Gary’s bird photos and for good reason.
If you’re a keen photographer with our
wonderful wetlands at your doorstep,
there’s many great subjects waiting to
be filmed. One thing synonymous with
animal life around our lakes and swamps
is their noise, some evenings the frogs
can be heard croaking from far away and
the birds also like to take their turn , so let
your imagination take over for a moment
as you look at this last photo, it’s unusual
to get a photo like this. Blue wrens move
around together but seldom stand still for
very long, and to catch three in full song
makes a wonderful photo. Well done Gary!!
Don’t forget if you would like to have
your work space featured in this series, why
not contact Simon the publisher, and invite
others into your world. We would love to
see artists, sculptors, and photographers,
so why not take this opportunity to show
others your work and work space?
