Seaford Pier, Victoria.
A warm evening watching the sunset near Seaford Pier. Lots of people creating many wonderful silhouettes. Zooming in from the beach and waiting for the right moment as people jump from the pier, Enjoying the end of summer.

This photo is of a pair of red tailed black cockatoos near Bundaberg. The standout appearance of these graceful birds against a cloudless clear blue sky was striking. The challenge was to capture the movement of the birds to emphasise the spectacular red show feathers under the tail of the male birds.

The second Brumbies home game of the season and the first time I’d fired the day-old 7D Mark ll – a steep learning curve after my previous Canon bodies (30D, 50D and 5D Mk2). I was mighty impressed with the 7D’s focus tracking system, which was a big bonus considering the arms, legs and bodies going everywhere and getting in the way of the intended subject hidden away inside a scrum.
