Pelican at Lakes Entrance

Travel Photography - Wildlife

By Darren Stones

Photographing pelicans is always fun, but when you get the opportunity get up close to one in their natural habitat, the experience rises to a whole new level.

I photographed this pelican on the North Arm at Lakes Entrance in Victoria, and I have to admit it was a buzz to be able to get this close. It was getting late in the day, and the light was just perfect for this shot as the detail is amazing.

Each afternoon at Pebbly Beach, the kangaroos emerge from the forest and come down to the grassy mounds adjacent the beach. Fascinating to watch them, and a real thrill to get up close with one.

This photograph of the Pelican at Lakes Entrance is available for sale in a variety of quality print products. Purchasing is easy via the internet, and each product comes with a money back guarantee. If you're looking for a quality framed print to decorate a feature wall in a living area in your home, or a wall in your office, you'll find framing, matting and size options to suit your budget.

Kangaroo at Pebbly Beach

Travel Photography - Wildlife

By Darren Stones

Photographing kangaroos is always fun, but when you get the opportunity get up close to one near the ocean in a national park, the experience rises to a whole new level.

I photographed this Eastern Grey Kangaroo in the Murramarang National Park in New South Wales, and I have to admit it was a huge thrill. Given it was getting late in the day, I had to fire some fill flash to this scene so as to lighten up the front of the roo against the sublime backdrop of the ocean.

Each afternoon at Pebbly Beach, the kangaroos emerge from the forest and come down to the grassy mounds adjacent the beach. Fascinating to watch them, and a real thrill to get up close with one.

White-faced Heron at Merimbula, New South Wales

Travel Photography - Wildlife

By Darren Stones

Merimbula is an absolute gem of a spot on the Sapphire Coast in New South Wales. The forests go all the way down to the bays, and on Merimbula's Top Lake, which is renowned for fishing, I stalked this White-faced Heron for over an hour. With the bird walking in and out of the mangroves, and almost playing hard to get in the viewfinder, I had my work cut out in photographing this feathered friend.

I used my Canon EF 400mm f/5.6 L USM lens with the camera attached to a monopod to capture this shot. I really needed that extra steadiness of using a monopod to help produce this sharp shot. A great challenge. Travel photography of Australian wildlife can be so inspiring.

At the 2011 Grenfell Henry Lawson Festival of Arts Photography Competition and Exhibition, I was awarded Runner-Up in the Science and Nature Section for this image. A great buzz, and a beaut reward for the effort.
