http://anthonyholmes.smugmug.com/gallery/6760956_YG4rx/ The more we walk, the longer the walks seem to become. On Sunday 7th December 2008 we walked around Albert Park Lake and found a large variety of bird life. Most of the bird photos in this gallery were photographed using my 70-300 lens which, sadly, following a walk in a rainstorm at Mount Buffalo earlier this year now needs to be focussed manually: which is a very delicate manoeuvre, since long lenses need to be spot on to get a sharp picture. http://www.smugmug.com/img/feed-icon.png Other Sun, 07 Dec 2008 00:48:13 -0800 Mon, 08 Dec 2008 01:53:38 -0800 http://www.smugmug.com/ Copyright 2009, the copyright holder of each photograph.
