@Joel. The cocky was just down the river Torrens near my place, maybe 5 minute walk. There's a flock of about 10-20 there at the moment, coming down to feed on the grass seeds on the ground these days. That shot I was lying on my back taking shots of him with my 70-300L, while he was looking down at me with a 'what you doing?' look on his face, before he took off almost straight at me (thankfully the AF kept up).

I got some nice ones today just sitting amongst them with my 180mm f/2.8 zeiss Sonnar, this one was when they all started screeching (presumably because i was getting too close)

@steve, love all the lorikeets. We get the same down in adelaide, but i can never get close enough, and/or there's branches in the way of all my shots, so well done on them.





and @bob. pretty much all I can say is wow. I can't see any ghosting there, got an example of ones that have them in? (or are you just being too perfectionist like the rest of us?)
