Ducks on Green – The Brickpit…
by Rodney Campbell on May.06, 2013, under Life, Photography
“The Brickpit” lies within the Sydney Olympic Park precinct.
A very large pond sits in the middle of the Brickpit area and it is home to all manner of wildlife which doesn’t seem to mind the thick layer of bright green “something” which lies on the surface of the pond.
Note: These photographs (especially the wider shots) look much better when larger – so click any of the images below to see larger versions in an inline overlay slideshow gallery viewer.
Up first my favourite shot from the morning
Wading in Green
NIKON D600 + 70.0-200.0 mm f/2.8 @ 170 mm, 1/400 sec at f/4, ISO 1400
Here some local birds are wading across the surface of the pond leaving interesting trails in their wake
Swimming Upstream
NIKON D600 + 70.0-200.0 mm f/2.8 @ 200 mm, 1/400 sec at f/4, ISO 720
I’m not sure what this green stuff is but it has different texture in different areas of the pond and I loved the light and dark swirls, lines and shapes left in the surface
Reflections on Green
NIKON D600 + 70.0-200.0 mm f/2.8 @ 70 mm, 1/160 sec at f/3.2, ISO 200
and all lined up nicely along the waters edge 🙂
Get all your Ducks in a Row
NIKON D600 + 70.0-200.0 mm f/2.8 @ 116 mm, 1/250 sec at f/4, ISO 450
