    This event was very interesting and interesting for me in my first experience. It was very important to see the behavior and expressions of people on the street, especially with the opportunity to look at them in the eye. I want to use this experience to improve the perspective of the photographer.

    Title or Location: St Ives Chase - Sydney
    In between rain showers, I caught this Australian King Parrot having a quiet feed. I shot it on a Canon R7 with a Sigma 150-600 mm zoom 1/500 sec at f8 ISO 2500. It was an overcast day but I have found to get a nice sharp bird shot I need at least 1/500 sec and F8 is the sweet spot of the lens. I used to worry about ISO but the R7 and a bit of Topaz magic crushes any noise.

    This image is a Still Life Composition of "Berries, Wine and Grapes" that I created on a rainy day in my bedroom. I used no fancy Studio Lighting at all. My only light source was a hand-held flashlight that I kept moving rapidly. It was an experiment in Light Painting when I couldn't go outside to shoot.
