Masked Lapwing Vanellus miles novaehollandiae November 14th, 2020 Truganina, Victoria, Australia Canon EOS R5 Canon EF 600mm f4L IS III USM lens Canon EF 1.4x III Extender I was chasing Pipits & Bushlarks around an open grassland area when this Lapwing dropped in momentarily, made a racket, then took off again!
Musk Duck (male) Biziura lobata November 13th, 2020 Lysterfield, Victoria, Australia Canon EOS R5 Canon EF 600mm f4L IS III USM lens Canon EF 1.4x III Extender A male Musk Duck with a very impressive pendulous lobe! Taken on a very overcast day. Another one from the same session with my new gear. I'm really enjoying the switch to mirrorless so far, but it is definitely a learning curve.
Long-billed Corella Cacatua tenuirostris November 13th, 2020 Lysterfield, Victoria, Australia Canon EOS R5 Canon EF 600mm f4L IS III USM lens Canon EF 1.4x III Extender After a series of lockdowns for the better part of 8 months, it was nice to finally get out for the day, spend some time at one of my favourite local spots & test out the new gear! Not even the average light could dampen my enthusiasm as I happily shot some of the regulars. I'm really looking forward to testing out some of the new capabilities of the ew camera, my first foray into the world of mirrorless. And while it is a learning curve no doubt, the new features & extra megapixels really open up some new possibilities - even if I didn't have to use them with this cheeky Corella (almost full frame!). The animal eye autofocus really is something else!
