CommentAt Lara Wetlands there are small coves that allowed me to lie quietly at one end whilst birds such as this Red-kneed Dotterel work their way towards me. I lay my camera and lens low on the ground with my lens on a small beanbag. On a number of occasions they got so close I could no longer focus.
EquipmentCanon R5 Canon 200-400 f4 iso 400 - 1/1600 - f9 - 560mm - manual exposure - low on the ground. Initially processed in Canon DPP 4, finished in Photoshop Elements CC with Neat Image as per process advised by Glenn Pure/Ian Wilson.
LocationLara Wetlands, Queensland
