CommentMale Australasian Grebe feeding chick an Indistinct Caridina Shrimp. The waterhole, complete with a pair of Grebes and chicks was seen from the side of the road. The property owner was happy to have them photographed, and after an hour of patiently sitting on the bank of the waterhole, the Grebes relaxed and some 90 photos were taken over the next two and a half hours. The angle of the lens to the Sun changed during this time, changing the water colour as the sun sank down to the west. a borrowed lens, and a tripod was used. My position did not change during the photo shoot.
EquipmentNikon D7000 - Tamron 150-600 mm with ND Filter (borrowed) - f8 - ISO800 - 1/1250th sec - Tripod.
LocationKenilworth, Queensland
