Yucky Mucky Balyang

October 28, 2014 by Jade Craven Leave a Comment

We were meant to be in Melbourne today. We woke up this morning, took one look at the weather and cancelled both our plans AND the back up plan of Aireys Inlet. It was windy, spitting and a bad day for photography.

We made plans to go to Balyang later in the day and, sensing shitty weather, went back to bed for a sleep in. Well, I did.

I woke up at 11ish to a bed that had just me and the cat. Glenn was out and wasn’t answering his phone.

The butthead had gone to Balyang without me! It was fine. He assured me that birdlife was boring and that he wanted to practice taking photos of birds in flight. Normally I wouldn’t share them, unless they showed interesting behaviour. But I really enjoyed the shots from this session.

Seagulls

I know gulls are boring but they make for great practice, especially with how they hover.

I really enjoy the spitting rain in the background.

Glenn loved how the bird in the foreground was out of focus. Something he’d love to experiment with.

Cockatoos

The cockatoos were being really playful. Apparently there was a kerfuffle over a straw? All cropping is done by Glenn.
